About Carmen
Carmen Gomez Abreu is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works in English and Spanish and brings 30 years of practical experience to sessions. Carmen focuses on straightforward support and clear steps you can use between meetings.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for patterns in how someone relates to themselves and others, and then helps them try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build self-understanding, increase coping skills, and reduce the overwhelm that comes with big life shifts. Carmen uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix helps people get in touch with strong feelings, notice unhelpful thoughts, and commit to actions that match their values.
She adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Over three decades she has supported people through grief, trauma, career changes, parenting strain, identity questions, and compassion fatigue. Carmen also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and issues around attachment and abandonment.
Her background includes attention to cultural context and life experience. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs. Expect a friendly, clear conversation that focuses on what matters to you now and what you want to change next.

Online support
Emotion-focused care that fits your schedule
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings, then use that awareness to shift unhelpful patterns in relationships and within themselves. It is often used when emotional pain or stuck patterns keep coming up in everyday life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches simple skills for noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive and testing small experiments to change them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit short updates or ongoing coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
