About Ohan

Ohan Carter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with three years of practice as an LCSW. She works with concerns such as parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, relationship issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and life purpose. Ohan also lists coaching, compassion fatigue, and multicultural concerns among her focus areas.

Her approach centers on listening and helping people name the problems that feel most urgent. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts that affect feelings and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs help finding the motivation to change.

In session she aims to help clients identify strengths and practical steps. Conversations often involve clarifying values, setting small goals, and trying out new ways of responding to old patterns. Work on parenting or workplace stress typically breaks larger issues into immediate actions and next steps.

She also pays attention to issues related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and self-love. For people exploring life purpose, sessions focus on what matters now and on manageable ways to test new directions.

How clinical approaches shape online work

Ohan uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what the client says, and letting the client set priorities. It helps when someone needs space to name what feels off or decide what to try next.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small changes in behavior to shift how someone feels and responds. This approach is useful for concerns like anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match the person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies if something isn’t working. Clients are invited to give feedback and to set concrete, short-term goals early in the process.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into daily life easier by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care during life changes, while keeping scheduling flexible to match work and family commitments.
