About Louise

LCSW-R in New York with 21 years of practice, Louise DeCaro focuses on addictions, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and coaching. She works with people facing life changes and career challenges and addresses concerns related to LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and eating and body image. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward adults seeking individualized support.

Louise uses a client-centered therapy approach. That means conversations focus on the client’s goals, feelings, and perspective. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues and how these get replayed in relationships and work. Practical topics like workplace stress, social anxiety, and isolation are addressed through guided conversation and problem-solving.

Her work also covers transitions such as divorce or separation, and the complex emotions that follow loss. For people coping with eating and food-related concerns, she combines attention to behavior with exploration of underlying feelings. She also supports those dealing with multicultural concerns and the stresses that can come from identity and belonging.

With many years in practice, Louise emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She helps clients sort priorities, set manageable steps, and practice new ways of coping between sessions. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Client-centered work and remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person in front of the therapist. It centers the client’s own goals and feelings, and is often used for stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps them clarify next steps and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered methods suit their needs or whether other ways of working might help more. This is decided together, based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and reducing travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to maintain regular appointments and follow-up between sessions without major disruptions.
