Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Carlos Sierra, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida, and I provide therapy in both English and Spanish. Over the past 30+ years, I've walked alongside clients working through anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, addiction and recovery, and anger management, as well as those navigating cultural and identity questions or major life transitions.

Whether you feel most yourself in English or en español, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood. You bring the expertise on your own life — I'm here to help you draw on the strengths you already have.

My approach to therapy

I lead with unconditional positive regard — meeting you with genuine acceptance, no judgment, and real care. I believe you're the expert on your own story and that you already carry the strengths to move through what's challenging you. Depending on what fits you best, I draw on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Positive Psychology, always tailored to your goals and pace. For Spanish-speaking clients, working in your first language can make that connection feel even more natural.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a warm, relaxed conversation — no pressure to have everything figured out. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping for, and what matters most to you, and I'll answer any questions about how therapy works. My priority is that you leave feeling heard and knowing I genuinely care about what's going on for you. Sessions are available in English or Spanish, whichever feels most comfortable.
