Carly George, LISW

Carly George is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to parenting and ADHD. Carly also lists blended family issues among her focuses, so she often supports people navigating stepfamily questions and merged households.

She keeps sessions practical and person-led. Carly listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. She prefers straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what a client wants to change. Expect an approach that emphasizes direct strategies alongside exploration of personal stories.

Carly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered skills to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people face change-related barriers, such as with addictions or lifestyle shifts.

For someone joining a blended household, she helps name tensions, plan small changes, and practice communication that reduces daily friction. For parents she supports clearer boundaries, consistent routines, and ways to manage anger or panic when stress spikes. She also addresses family of origin issues that often surface during relationship transitions.

Her style avoids labels and judgment. Carly helps people build steps toward concrete goals, whether that is reducing panic attacks, changing substance use patterns, improving self-esteem, or managing co-parenting stress. Clients are invited to shape the plan and set the pace.
