About Carly
Carly Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Narrative-informed work alongside several practical therapies to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She approaches sessions with direct compassion and a focus on each person's story. Carly aims to help people feel heard and to find clearer ways forward.
She combines Narrative ideas with acceptance and commitment strategies and cognitive-behavioral tools to break unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often include looking at how a person's life story shapes current problems, then trying small behavior changes to ease symptoms. Carly also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to improve connection and self-understanding. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, grief, body image, caregiving stress, relationship and communication struggles, and substance use issues.
She works with people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, parenting strain, eating or sleeping problems, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or helping professions. Carly has seven years of clinical experience and frames therapy as a cooperative process. She helps clients set concrete goals, practice new skills between sessions, and re-author parts of their story that feel stuck or limiting.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a session based on availability.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT Can Work Online
Online therapy with Carly brings Narrative ideas together with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based perspectives to address everyday problems. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps identify alternate narratives that open up new choices; it can help people stuck in shame, guilt, or limiting beliefs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them and choosing actions that match a person's values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns. Attachment-based approaches pay attention to how early connection patterns affect current relationships and can guide work on communication, trust, and intimacy.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of starting therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to one fixed method up front.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and flexible ways to share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
