About Carly
Carly Montroy is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood shifts, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Carly works from a straightforward, respectful stance and focuses on practical steps that fit each person.
Carly believes people know their own stories and brings that belief into sessions. She listens first, then helps clients identify strengths and small changes to try.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life tools for handling tense moments and improving communication. Her approach mixes techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. That means conversations about thoughts and behaviors, plus simple practices to reduce reactivity.
She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to help people reconnect with their goals. In sessions clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and clear suggestions to practice between meetings. Carly aims for brief, doable steps that build confidence over time.
She frames therapy as a partnership rather than a lecture. Carly holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, often shortened to LMHC. She has seven years of clinical experience working with a broad range of mood and stress concerns.
Meetings are offered in English and can be scheduled online in ways that suit each client's routine.

Using practical approaches in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short, it helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. This approach is often used when someone wants tools for anxiety, anger, or depression.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. That style can help people feel understood and more confident about making changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where client feedback guides which methods are used.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer a flexible way to stay connected between meetings or to check in without an appointment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
