About Louise
Louise DeCaro is a New York LCSW-R with 21 years of practice supporting people through anxiety, addictions, grief, self‑esteem and life changes. She works with people who struggle with social anxiety and phobia, workplace stress, eating concerns, and relationship disruption. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation and practical next steps rather than clinical jargon.
She uses a client-centered way of working that emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to each person. That means conversations where the client's concerns guide the pace and topics. Louise often helps people notice patterns that keep them feeling stuck and find small, manageable shifts to try between sessions.
Many people seek her help for loneliness, abandonment worries, attachment issues, or difficulties fitting in at work. She also supports individuals dealing with divorce or separation, body image and eating-related problems, and grief after loss. When needed she brings coaching-style tools to support career questions and practical problem solving.
Louise pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and to issues facing LGBT people. Sessions are direct and practical - clarifying goals, testing ideas, and reviewing what helped or didn’t since the last meeting. She asks about everyday routines and coping strategies so change can translate into daily life.

Client-centered care and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and adjusting to what the person says matters most. The therapist reflects understanding, asks clarifying questions, and follows the client's priorities so sessions feel relevant and manageable. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, self-esteem and social anxiety and phobia because it centers the person's immediate concerns and goals.When coaching-style tools are used, they are practical and goal-focused. These tools help with career decisions, building routines, and testing small behavioral changes. They pair with client-centered listening so changes are realistic and tied to everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques to try based on needs, goals, and comfort. That collaboration includes checking progress and adjusting methods over time.
