Carey Stamps
Hey! I’m Carey, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Georgia. I am a University of Georgia graduate then continued my education at Thomas University. I enjoy working with mostly adolescents and young adults, although I accept adults as well, who may be feeling anxious, depressed, or simply going through a tough time.
I chose counseling after my own journey, and I always dream of being the counselor that I needed when I was younger and seeking help.
I view counseling as a partnership where both the client and counselor work together to achieve the goals that the client sets for themselves, and I am always excited and try my best to help those goals come to fruition.
First session
During your first session, you can expect a getting-to-know-you game, activity, or just a discussion as a way for the counselor and client to become more familiar. It is typically a light, easy session! Afterwards, we will create the goals you are setting for yourself to accomplish during the time together.
Strengths
I chose counseling after my own journey, and I always dream of being the counselor that I needed when I was younger and seeking help. I try to be challenging but appreciate light humor throughout the session. I also try to keep an open-mind and have a safe, judgment free space to discuss anything on your mind. This approach has worked for many clients since I started interning as a counselor in 2021, and I can’t wait to continue my journey with you.
Ideal clients
I typically specialize in clients of all genders, children, adolescents, and young adults, who may be going through a rough time in life, experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, bullying, or gender/sexual orientation pressures. I believe a person has to want to make changes and grow in order for therapy to be effective. However, we can work together in a therapeutic partnership to help with wanting to grow and starting to grow.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT since starting out as an intern in 2021. I typically have clients describe their thoughts, feelings, and emotions that lead to specific behaviors that they are looking to improve on or change. As a team, we are able to view thoughts differently, from a different perspective, or shift the focus. This allows the client and counselor to then follow up the same way with the desired behavior.
