About Carmen
Carmen Gomez Abreu is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of practice. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life changes. Carmen speaks English and Spanish and supports clients with a wide range of emotional concerns.
She focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. That means identifying what creates intense reactions, trying small changes, and tracking what helps over time. Carmen uses talk, problem solving, and skill-building rather than abstract theory in day-to-day work.
Her background covers trauma and abuse, grief, caregiving stress, ADHD, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. She also addresses issues tied to identity and relationships, such as LGBT matters, intimacy questions, and adoption and foster care histories. Career and role shifts are part of her practice too.
Carmen draws on several therapy methods to structure sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns, dialectical behavior tools to manage strong emotions, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based and client-centered ways of working shape how she listens and responds.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone aimed at developing concrete skills for coping and communication. The work often includes short practice between sessions and revisiting what changes are or are not useful. Carmen also accepts international clients and can work in Spanish when that is helpful.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can help when anger or frustration repeatedly pull someone away from what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that feed reactivity and on practicing alternative responses. CBT is useful for workplace stress, relationship arguments, and managing mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single method up front.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as attending from a quieter location, fitting a session into a work break, or avoiding travel time. These practical benefits help translate skills learned in sessions into everyday situations.
