More about Carla

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist serving South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and emotional well-being. My practice centers on empowering adolescents, young adults and women through compassionate, strength-based counseling. My expertise is providing support for clients to build self-esteem, develop effective communication skills, and work through challenges related to life purpose and personal identity.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey, with a particular focus on addressing abandonment concerns, managing anger, and supporting healthy emotional adaptation. I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they discover their inner strength, heal from past experiences, and create more fulfilling lives. My work is guided by a deep respect for individual experiences and a belief in each person's capacity for growth and positive change.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
