Carla Price Lybarger

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in trauma-informed care, school social work, and a deep passion for supporting mothers, caregivers, and individuals healing from religious trauma. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, ADHD, and spiritual wounding. My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative, with a focus on helping clients feel safe, seen, and heard. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space for those processing complex life experiences, including clients who are deconstructing rigid belief systems or navigating the impact of spiritual abuse or exclusion. I welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds, and I deeply value honest connections and authenticity in the healing process.

My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and direct. I draw on evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychoeducation, tailoring each session to meet the client’s goals and emotional needs. With kids and teens, I often integrate creativity and regulation tools. With adults, especially mothers and individuals facing burnout or spiritual wounds, I focus on cultivating self-compassion, setting boundaries, and reclaiming their identity.

I also support parents in finding calm, connected strategies that work for their unique child and family dynamic.

Clients can expect to feel supported, respected, and gently challenged. Whether you're working through trauma, identity shifts, parenting stress, or religious trauma or wounds, you'll leave sessions with more profound clarity, emotional tools, and a sense of empowerment. My goal is to walk alongside you as you untangle the past and move toward healing and authenticity.
