About Carole
Carole Spivack is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She focuses on practical changes that improve self-esteem, motivation, and career functioning. Her work also supports people coping with life transitions and compassion fatigue.
Carole uses a warm and direct style in sessions. She is collaborative and interactive, so clients take an active role in setting goals. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
She often addresses anger as a central hurdle that can affect communication and closeness. Carole helps people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and build a more positive sense of self that supports healthier relationships and work life.
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These approaches are used in straightforward, step-by-step ways suited for everyday problems like sleep trouble, mood shifts, and workplace stress.
Carole is licensed in New York as an LCSW, and she brings two decades of experience to sessions. She aims to support and empower people who want clearer purpose, better coping skills, and more satisfying daily life.
How CBT and Mindfulness Translate to Online Sessions
Carole uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen stress and mood problems. CBT breaks issues into smaller steps so clients can try new responses and track what helps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, anger, and sleep.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday challenges, and then suggest CBT, mindfulness, or a blend. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as progress is made.
If you hope to meet online, confirm the available session options before booking so they match your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, and let people practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. Talk with the therapist about how to set up sessions that suit your schedule and goals.
