Ohan Carter, LCSW

Ohan Carter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who provides thoughtful, strengths-focused therapy for individuals, couples, and families. As an LCSW she is trained to assess emotional and interpersonal challenges and to offer practical tools and supportive therapy that meet clients where they are. Her approach blends holistic, mind-body perspectives with evidence-based techniques to address concerns such as parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Ohan works with a wide range of life circumstances including adoption and foster care experiences, caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, multicultural concerns, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Using cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered attention, she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build coping skills, and uncover personal resources of resilience and creativity. Her style is empathic and nurturing, focused on empowering clients to expand awareness, reframe challenges, and move toward meaningful change. With three years of clinical experience, she offers collaborative support tailored to each person’s goals and values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ohan integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build self-awareness and personal strengths - it is useful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress-related problems.

She may also draw on motivational interviewing to gently explore ambivalence and support readiness for change when people are facing difficult decisions or trying to shift patterns of behavior. Determining the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Ohan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to licensed professionals. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
