I am licensed in Georgia with 24 years of professional work experience. I have worked in various areas such as a hospital, office, residential facility, and in homes. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation, improving self esteem, and building self-confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will customize our talks and treatment goals to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seek help takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I keep a schedule that hopefully can accommodate everyone - early morning, afternoon, and late night (12am-1:30am)!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

She's awesome

You are really good,and she really does listen and wants to help you always reach your goals

She is honest, she calls me out when I’m lying to myself. I want that from a therapist. She hears me out and gives me the hard truth while providing solutions. It’s what I need and I appreciate her work. I always look forward to our meetings.

Carmen has been wonderful!! I look forward to working with her to better myself

Carmen is an avid listener and is respectful when we have our sessions. She’s doesn’t judge and helps me feel clarity when I don’t understand certain emotions. I would definitely recommend!

Carmen provides empathy and patience. She put me at ease early on so that I have already begun to navigate the "stuff" that has molded me into the mess I feel I am now. I am already feeling better about myself and my ability to face some difficult steps I need to make to improve my daily life. She offers advice when I need it but also listens very well. I feel fortunate to have her as my therapist.

Carmen provides amazing feedback during each session giving me extremely good examples to guide me in the right direction.

Carmen is an excellent therapist and definitely makes me feel heard and acknowledged. She offers many different perspectives on problems and is very accommodating and reassuring when it comes to discussing my feelings. I always leave our sessions feeling relieved and mentally clearer! Definitely would recommend to anyone!

I wasn’t sure if I wanted a man or woman therapist because I’ve spent my life working around men and it’s usually easier to connect about guy stuff. Mrs. Carmen is very easy to connect with and is outstanding. She’s sensitive but also direct - she makes me feel confident that therapy works.

Carmen is an excellent therapist. She's always present and engaging - knows when to speak and when to listen. She makes you feel seen and heard, and she's always on top of the details. I always feel like she's exactly right for each session. I couldn't recommend enough.

I’m really glad I got paired with Carmen. For someone who was anxious about meeting with a therapist, she has really made the process stress free. She listens well and is very easy to talk to.

Very caring and compassionate. She has helped me grow as a person and open up about my struggles. Thank you

Carmen is an attentive and intelligent therapist and I really enjoyed our meetings together. She had very useful suggestions and tools to help cope with ADHD, interpersonal and professional relationships, and anxiety for me. Her flexible schedule was tremendously helpful, late nights were the best time for me and I didn’t have to sacrifice my schedule to make appointments which made therapy possible for me. Thank you again, Carmen!

Carmen was very flexible and understanding.

Excellent therapist!!!

Mrs. Carmen is a great listener, and very nice!

I feel like I really connect with Carmen. She is an amazing therapist and genuinely is helping me improve myself in way I didn’t think I could.

Very knowledgeable therapist.

Carmen is very attentive. She actively listens and takes notes during my session with her. She asks good probing questions. I sense that she is really interested in what I have to share. She is friendly.

Carmen has been absolutely wonderful!

She’s great!!

Carmen has offered so many great tools and techniques to try for my mental health to help me to be stronger and more confident in my own abilities. I never feel judged I only feel heard when we have a session. I’m so grateful for this service and for Carmen

She is open to listen and responds clearly. My way of speaking often wanders around points and she goes on the journey with me. Carmen is a wonderful therapist.

I’m so fortunate you paired me with Carmen. I alway feel better after our sessions. It’s everything I hoped therapy would be!

Very understanding, patient and empathetic with real world knowledge.

Really great therapist!

Carmen has been a great and tentative listener. She remembers the small details. Always has great encouragement and wise words to help when I need it the most.

Carmen is the kindest and a very understanding therapist. I can say anything I do not hold back and she rolls with the punches. I am very straight forward. I would recommend her to anyone of friends and family. She is giving me back my self confidence which is so important to me.

Carmen is wonderful and truly seems to understand me. She’s been very helpful

She is always willing to listen, and she gives real life examples of how to deal with things but while also, being very clinical as well when needed.

She’s an absolute sweetheart, very prompt , listens well and very soft spoken . Is very helpful and understanding , i really like her, look forward to talking with her again . Highly recommend.

Love her

Carmen is a nice therapist. She messages me the worksheets in a timely manner. I’ve learned more about myself and what my problems are in therapy. I really like BetterHelp because of the worksheets.

Carmen is a reliable safe space for me and has a variety of resources to help me between sessions.

She has been amazing and the second we are better money wise I’ll be back! She has taught me so much. I’m thankful.

She was wonderful and helped me a great deal in a short amount of time. Had to move states so I can no longer use her but very thankful for her help.

Carmen is easy to talk to, non-judge mental, and meets you exactly where you are. I was scared to start therapy I actually cancelled a few times out of fear. She is personable, honest, and gives you real healing tools and practices.

Never done therapy before and I'm so glad i have this doc as my therapist. Set the standard real high for future docs.

She’s really helpful and I look forward to working with her.

Awesome person

Such a sweet person! Never judgmental. Keeps the conversation going and has a way of making me open up!

I am thankful to have a therapist who encourages me when I'm feeling down.

Great so far only 2 sessions so far

I am struggling to feel helped by Carmen. I tend to think of my mental health as a function of health as much as any other part of my body. It feels as if, were I to ask Carmen for suggestions on how to stop my feet from being blistered, her response would be "well feet get blistered sometimes " and give a worksheet about foot health. I would like more forthright information on how I can help her help me. She also habitually says "you know ". This annoys me. I don't know, thats why I'm asking you.

She is just what I was looking for. I couldn’t be happier.

I’m enjoying the feedback I get and how she opens my eyes to focus on my health

Carmen is easy to talk to and has a calming presence. Talking to her comes more natural and our sessions flow. It’s nice to not feel like I’m being back up into a corner and being hounded with questions. She’s the best!

Carmen is down to earth while being direct, honest, and supportive.

Beginning to work on myself

Great therapist. Easy to talk to and felt heard and comfortable with them immediately.

Carmen has already been very helpful to me even though we've only met a couple of times. She has listened well and has given the input that's been needed. I'm feeling very encouraged!

I am grateful for Carmen. She is helping me work through the grieving process.

Carmen is awesome. She is down to earth, knowledgeable and relatable. I highly recommend her!

I was nervous going into talking to a therapist, but she talks to you just like a friend catching up on life. She’s so sweet and asks about things I’ve been surprised she’s remembered in between sessions. Very grateful I was able to find such a great therapist!
