LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER
Carol Gwaltney, LCSW
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist since 2002 and a Psychotherapist with Stony Brook Counseling Center since 2004. I work with adults and individuals 18 years old and older, as well as couples and families.
My specialty is working with individuals and with families suffering from alcohol or substance use disorders. I also work with people needing support and coping skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, codependency, and unsolved issues from adverse childhood experiences.
I utilize an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy which includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and connection to like-minded community resources (i.e.: 12 step programs) when possible.
I believe every human being has the capacity to heal and grow, and my role is to empower my clients to tap into that inner resource.
