Getting to know Carla Giglio
Carla Giglio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and U.S. Navy veteran with over ten years of post-master's clinical experience in community mental health and residential healthcare settings, and she also works with clients on gambling and sports betting addiction. She specializes in advanced trauma treatment and has extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with substance use, compulsive behaviors, crisis states, and complex emotional patterns (CPTSD). Carla understands that gambling and other process addictions are rarely just about behavior, and are often rooted in trauma, stress, nervous system dysregulation, and the brain's dopaminergic reward system, which can reinforce cycles of anticipation, risk, and temporary relief that become neurologically conditioned responses over time. Her work helps clients gently interrupt and rewire these patterns, shift internal triggers, and build new associations that support stability and self-control. Her therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, Flash Technique, CBT, ACT, and DBT, with a strong emphasis on nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care, and she is open to incorporating spiritually oriented perspectives for clients who find meaning in a higher power as part of their healing journey, while also drawing from complementary practices such as breathwork and integrative healing approaches. Her goal is to help clients quiet urges, rebuild self-trust, and move toward a life aligned with clarity, stability, and purpose.
