Getting to know Michael Carnevale

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in San Francisco, California, who works with clients statewide via Telehealth. I have experience serving a diverse client population of all ages using primarily Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I operate from a person-in-environment lens that acknowledges the many factors and variables in our lives beyond the individual. My approach I operate from an open-minded, humanistic, client-centered approach that respects the client as the expert in their own experience. I treat my therapy clients with mutual respect, unconditional positive regard, and non-judgment. I like to adapt the treatment modalities I implement to fit the strengths and preferences of the clients I treat. I want my clients to feel like our sessions are their time to get what they feel they need to learn, grow, and feel better as we collaboratively work towards accomplishing their goals. My focus I have years of experience working with a diverse client population of teens, adults, and older adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have experience working on an inpatient psychiatric unit in a hospital setting and have also served therapy clients in an outpatient setting. I am comfortable and familiar with treating clients with a history of trauma. I have experience and am comfortable treating trauma, depression, anxiety, Bipolar, and psychosis symptoms. I also have experience conducting individual therapy sessions, as well as facilitating family therapy sessions to address family dynamics-related issues. My communication style I want to create an environment where my clients feel safe and comfortable sharing at a pace that feels right for them. I always want my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, and accepted. I want my clients to feel comfortable asking for what they need from me. I want my clients to feel accepted.
