Getting to know Carlotta Ray
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you. I have worked with teens and their families, teenagers involved in the juvenile justice system, adults with substance abuse issues, facilitated group therapy, and also worked with adults with childhood trauma. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My passion is currently with the journey our higher power has us on and what that looks like for you. My faith has kept me solid and grounded.
I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like motivational interviewing techniques. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
Have you been struggling with relationship issues and addiction to the internet? I work with couples making decisions about staying together and how to practice fair fighting rules. Whether you’re working through relationship issues or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.”
What should a new client know about working with you?
I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
My journey into therapy began with a desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my work in a mental health setting with substance abuse clients, I witnessed the power of support and how powerful therapy can be in someone's recovery. I desired to be a part of a person's healing journey. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.
I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
