Carlos Beivides , LCSW

Carlos Beivides does not offer endless validation or open-ended reassurance; he looks for people who are ready to engage in focused, active work to create meaningful change. Those prepared to take on a significant challenge and cover substantial ground are often the best fit for his approach.

Carlos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, which means he completed graduate-level training in clinical social work and holds a license to provide psychotherapy. He earned a Master of Social Work in clinical practice from Fordham University in New York City in 2015 and practices from New York.

He provides both individual and group counseling for people facing post-traumatic stress and related psychological challenges, family difficulties, substance use concerns, employment-related stress, military sexual trauma, grief, and other barriers to successful reintegration into civilian life. Drawing on his own experience as a Marine and combat veteran, he is particularly committed to serving Veterans and members of the armed forces.

Carlos helps clients address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression while also working on issues such as commitment and communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and traumatic brain injury. He uses evidence-based methods including cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure, reconsolidation of traumatic memories therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to identify and shift cognitive distortions and improve daily functioning. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where practical, goal-oriented work can begin together.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and experience, offering a collaborative, empathic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-directed change. It suits people seeking a supportive environment to explore values, relationships, and identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many trauma-related symptoms to develop coping strategies and measurable progress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance with skills training in areas like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps people manage intense emotions, reduce reactive behaviors, and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carlos works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a plan that fits their life and priorities. That collaborative process helps determine whether techniques will be used alone or combined for the best fit.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family responsibilities, and access support from where the client feels most comfortable.
