Getting to know Carolyn Kanter, LCSW

I have over 20 years experience working with teenagers and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma. I run a fully virtual therapy practice for teens ages 12-17 and for young adults ages 18-26. My practice is judgement free and allows you to take charge of your own therapy experience. Because we meet online, you can join from the comfort of your room, in a space where you already feel safe.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients have often told me that I "keep it real", and I believe that this is the key to developing trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship, which naturally culminates in you achieving your goals. Therapy works best when it is a true collaboration. I am not here to tell you what to do, how to feel, or how to live your life. You are the expert on you which means you get to choose the goals that matter to you and the pace at which we move.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I combine aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Somatic (body-based) practices. This dual approach ensures we aren't just talking about problems, but actually changing how the brain and body process them. Together, we can calm constant overthinking and the physical dread that comes with it. We can develop ways to navigate the days when you feel unmotivated, angry or sad. We can learn actionable grounding techniques to release physical tension and calm panic responses. We can help your mind and body heal from painful experiences. We can build sustainable boundaries for school, work, social media, and relationships. You will leave your sessions with real skills you can use right away.
