About Carla

Carla Primo is a licensed social worker who uses practical, evidence-based therapy to help people through life changes and relationship challenges. She brings ten years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions. Carla is licensed as a Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina.

She speaks English and conducts sessions using online formats that fit busy schedules. Clients often come for help with stress and anxiety.

Background and approach

Carla helps people identify patterns, improve communication, and manage strong emotions. Parents and caregivers find support for parenting strain and caregiver stress, and she guides people navigating separation or divorce. Intimacy and relationship concerns are also common topics in her work.

Her sessions focus on building skills people can use right away. She works on clear steps for communication, setting boundaries, and reducing overwhelm. The goal is practical change that matches each person’s life and values.

Carla emphasizes collaboration. She and the client set goals together and track progress over time. Therapy might include short-term problem solving or longer work on life purpose and meaning.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches clearer communication and emotion regulation. This helps with anxiety, relationship conflict, and managing stress by giving concrete steps to use in daily life. Another common element is problem-focused therapy that identifies unhelpful patterns and replaces them with workable habits. That approach suits people dealing with control issues, caregiving strain, or life transitions like separation or divorce.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Carla treats therapy as a collaboration and will review a client’s goals, preferences, and needs to determine which techniques to try. Together they monitor progress and adjust the plan when something isn’t working well.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
