Nelli Miah-Carlese

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’ve provided virtual therapy for several years to individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges, relationship struggles, anxiety, trauma, stress, grief and major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as grounding, compassionate, and goal-oriented. They appreciate having a space where they feel heard, supported, and understood.

I draw from evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, attachment-based therapy, and narrative therapy. I also incorporate Story Work, Emotionally Healthy Relationships, and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality.

Together, we’ll work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical tools for navigating difficult emotions, strengthen your relationships, and help you move toward lasting, meaningful change with greater confidence and hope.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel welcomed, understood, and cared for. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

We will explore the connections between your past, your present, and the person you hope to become. I help clients develop insight into the patterns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped their lives while identifying strengths that can support growth and healing.

I bring warmth, compassion, and genuine engagement to our work together, along with a deep commitment to your mental health and personal growth.
