About Carlos
Carlos Beivides is an LCSW practicing in New York with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as commitment issues, communication problems, control issues, family problems, first responder issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety and phobia, and traumatic brain injury.
Carlos takes a direct, action-oriented approach. He expects clients to engage in active work between sessions as part of making progress. Sessions involve clear goals, practical strategies, and attention to emotional experience. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people name and shift difficult emotions and patterns.
In sessions he combines cognitive behavioral tools with skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage distress and regulate emotion. Imago principles are part of how he addresses communication problems and closeness issues. The result is a mix of talking, structured skill practice, and targeted exercises that address specific problems.
Carlos is a Marine and combat veteran, and his background informs work with military-related concerns and post-traumatic stress. He also has experience supporting people after sexual assault and traumatic brain injury, and he integrates that experience into treatment planning.
He asks for commitment to the process and aims to move through difficult material efficiently. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practical steps are explained when someone selects the See online therapy options button.
Approaches used online and what they involve
Carlos uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name core emotions and attachment-related patterns that keep repeating in relationships and daily life. EFT focuses on feeling and shifting emotional responses so people can change how they relate to themselves and others.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical skills and experiments. CBT is helpful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on concrete change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carlos will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in early and adjusting methods as therapy progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or let someone join without arranging transportation. Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical details can be arranged.
