My name is Nikki Caravella and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Social Work at Youngstown State University in 1996 and my Master's Degree at Case Western Reserve University in 1998. Since that time, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients. Each of them came into service bringing a unique history and presenting with equally distinct needs and expectations of counseling. As a therapist, I treat a wide range of mental health issues and life adjustment challenges. I am experienced in helping clients relieve anxiety using various techniques, including neuro-linguistic programming. For those who have suffered past traumatic events, we can use cognitive/behavioral tools to help reconcile the emotions connected to the events. If you happen to live in or near Ocala and are able to come in person for session, we can utilize a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy to neutralize heightened emotional responses.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, I will gladly answer any questions you may have of me, while ultimately allowing me to discover your life story thus far. I want to know the symptoms and challenges you are facing, with my priority of developing an initial plan aligned with your goals and desired outcome for therapy. Working together, we will regularly evaluate your progress towards your goals and adjust our approach as needed.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
A benefit and lesson of having worked with many people is understanding the need to develop a flexible interview style. My hope and intention is to cultivate an environment and conversational style that is natural and comfortable during session. I am genuinely interested in listening to you, exploring what you have tried to help yourself in the past, and expanding on that with tools and techniques that yield results when implemented. I truly wish to be a client's supporter in their journey, offering both support and challenging you when appropriate.
