About Carly
Carly Anne Lockowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping adults manage mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship challenges. She offers a direct, compassionate style and aims to build practical skills people can use in daily life. Carly works with concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation.
With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods.
Background and approach
Carly emphasizes interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness in sessions. She uses those skills to help clients respond to overwhelming feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Sessions are collaborative and skill-based.
Carly helps clients identify strengths, set goals, and practice new ways of handling conflict or stress. The focus is on short, concrete tools that can be used between appointments as well as deeper work when needed. She works with people who face life transitions, bipolar mood patterns, grief over relationship problems, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Additional areas include attachment issues, body image, communication struggles, dissociation, guilt and shame, and figuring out life purpose. Carly practices in Pennsylvania and sees clients in English. Her approach combines practical DBT skills with a trauma-informed perspective so clients learn both immediate coping strategies and longer-term ways to rebuild emotional balance.

How Carly Uses DBT and Mindfulness Online
Carly integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work to help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior. DBT skills taught in sessions include interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance so clients can practice specific strategies during stressful moments. Mindfulness work focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which helps reduce rumination and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carly aims to figure out what fits each person by discussing goals, daily demands, and what has or hasn't helped before. She works collaboratively to tailor skills and pacing so the plan matches each client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills in the settings where stress actually happens, so techniques learned in sessions can be applied during everyday moments.
