About Carole
Carole Spivack is a New York licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, and changes at work or in life. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative, and she focuses on building a stronger sense of self that supports motivation and confidence.
Carole often sees anger as a key obstacle in close relationships and works with clients to understand the triggers behind it. She uses practical strategies to reduce intense emotions and improve communication. Sessions are tailored to each person, with attention to life transitions and workplace strain when those issues arise.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and notice patterns that keep problems alive. Those methods are applied in straightforward ways people can use between sessions. Carole aims to make therapy useful for everyday life rather than only theoretical.
She brings two decades of clinical experience to a partnership with clients. That experience includes supporting people through mood struggles, trauma and abuse recovery, compulsive behaviors, and compassion fatigue. The goal in sessions is practical change you can see in daily routines and relationships.
If you want to address sleep problems alongside stress or mood issues, Carole includes sleep and rest concerns in her work and connects them to other areas like anxiety and daily habits. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process focused on clear goals and steady progress.

This approach breaks problems into manageable steps, helping with anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep habits, and compulsive patterns.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Those exercises help reduce reactivity to stress and improve awareness of physical cues that affect sleep and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carole will discuss your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to solve, then suggest whether CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or a mix would fit best. The plan is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.
