Carly Esile, LMHC

The pressures of modern life can contribute to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, poor self-esteem, self-criticism, and obsessive-compulsive patterns of thinking and behavior. These concerns are real, common, and treatable. Carly Esile, LMHC, LCMHC, works with individuals seeking to develop healthier, more effective ways of coping with stress and mental health symptoms, navigate life transitions, and work toward greater emotional well-being. She has a particular clinical interest in working with individuals experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related patterns of anxiety, perfectionism, and rigid or intrusive thinking. Carly’s approach to therapy is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with an emphasis on understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and developing practical strategies for creating meaningful change. She also draws from other evidence-based approaches based on each client’s individual needs, goals, and circumstances. Carly provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space for individuals to identify and explore current and past stressors, develop greater insight into patterns that may be contributing to distress, strengthen effective coping skills, and move toward a healthier and more authentic sense of self. Treatment is individualized and collaborative, recognizing that effective therapy looks different for each person. Carly is licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and is also able to provide telehealth services to clients located in South Carolina (https://llr.sc.gov/TeleHealth/Counselor.html).
