About Carmen
Carmen Gomez Abreu is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and grief. Carmen also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, parenting, ADHD, and LGBT matters.
She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make social situations and other challenges harder. Carmen combines conversational work with structured techniques so people can practice new skills between sessions.
Her background spans long-term clinical work and coaching-style support for life changes. That experience shapes how she approaches relationship and intimacy issues, coping with loss, and navigating career transitions. She pays attention to how attachment and early relationships affect current patterns.
Carmen uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches guide sets of tools like values-focused action, thought-work, emotion regulation, and strengthening relational patterns.
She offers services in English and Spanish and supports international clients. Practical matters such as scheduling, costs, and how to begin are handled through the practice intake process. To start, interested people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches offered and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward those values even when difficult feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making steady progress on meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety and mood-related concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the challenges they face. She combines conversational listening with structured exercises so people know what to try between sessions. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or do not need video, which can help when a quieter setting or a brief session is the priority. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still allows clear skill practice and weekly accountability while fitting therapy into everyday life.Areas of expertise
