About Carin
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with 12 years of experience. Carin Skapars works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, relationships, family issues, grief, parenting, and depression. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace problems.
Carin uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based methods to address day-to-day problems. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Sessions aim to identify small steps that make routines and coping easier.
She adapts the pace of work to each person’s needs and prefers clear goals and measurable progress. Expect focused sessions that look at current challenges, patterns that maintain them, and concrete strategies to test between meetings. Carin combines short-term problem solving with attention to deeper stressors when needed.
Her background includes a decade-plus of clinical practice in New York working with adults across a range of life transitions. She frames change as a series of manageable tasks rather than a single big fix. Carin emphasizes collaboration on goals and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.
For new clients the first steps are a brief intake and setting clear, realistic objectives. The process is practical: define a problem, try an approach, and adjust based on results. This keeps work focused and easier to fit into busy lives.

How Carin uses CBT and solution-focused work online
Carin works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve identifying a troubling thought, trying a different response, and reviewing how that change worked in daily life. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set specific, short-term goals and map small steps toward them. That method focuses on what changes would look like and which tiny actions can produce noticeable results. It can be useful for career questions, coping with life changes, and immediate practical problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree on methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative: set goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps.
