About Carly

Carly Turner is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Iowa with four years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of New England in May 2017 and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, anger management, eating issues, personality disorders, caregiving and geriatric challenges.

Her counseling style is warm and reflective, grounded in attentive, sensitive listening and respectful engagement. Carly draws from a range of therapeutic methods - including strengths-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused and narrative strategies, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused approaches - to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She collaborates with clients to identify practical tools and coping strategies that align with their goals and circumstances, helping them navigate life transitions and challenges with greater agency. Carly aims to empower people as they work toward meaningful change and she looks forward to walking alongside individuals on their journeys.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the person’s own goals and values guide the work. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore feelings, identity, and life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, often complementing other approaches for mood and anxiety concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carly works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques accordingly so that treatment fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and allow clients to engage with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that work best for them.
