Healing starts here

Caroline Roarty Counseling

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with individual clients across New York. I create a warm, welcoming space where you feel understood and supported. Together, we’ll build lasting change.

Welcome,

My name is Caroline, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York. I specialize in supporting driven professionals, young adults, and college students who are navigating everything from relationships to identity.

Many of my clients first seek therapy because they feel anxious, depressed, disconnected from others, or stuck in old patterns. Through therapy, that can change.

Together we’ll work to build a life that feels authentic and connected.

I work closely with women and LGBTQ+ individuals, and I am committed to providing an affirming, supportive space where all parts of you are welcome.

I love my work as a therapist, and feel honored to support clients in their healing journeys. Reach out to schedule a consultation, and let’s see if we’re a good fit.

I look forward to working with you!

Support Tailored to Your Needs

Individual therapy offers you a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand yourself. When it comes to your mental health, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My approach blends person-centered and psychodynamic therapy with CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques. I also offer EMDR to help you work through distressing memories and the beliefs connected to them.

Together, we can work on:

  • Managing anxiety and overthinking

  • Working through depression, low motivation, and loneliness

  • Navigating life transitions, such as starting college, a new job, or moving to a new city

  • Setting boundaries and expressing your needs in relationships

  • Building self-worth and resilience

  • Understanding past experiences that shape how you feel, respond, and relate to others today

  • Processing trauma or distressing experiences

I offer 50-minute virtual sessions through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform for clients across New York.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured therapy that helps people work through distressing experiences and the beliefs connected to them. Treatment follows eight phases beginning with a thorough history taking, identifying treatment goals, and developing tools to help you stay grounded and manage distress. During the active reprocessing stage, you will be instructed to bring a memory to mind while engaging in guided eye movements, tapping, or another form of bilateral stimulation.

The aim of reprocessing is to reduce the emotional intensity of the target memory while developing a more balanced, compassionate understanding of yourself and what happened. Through this process, negative beliefs such as “I’m not good enough” can change to more positive ones, such as “I am good enough.” Even though the memory is still there, it will no longer carry the same emotional weight.

Kind words from clients

  • “From the start, Caroline made me feel supported and understood. She listens without judgment, asks meaningful questions, and helps me see things from new perspectives. I’m grateful for the clarity and growth I’ve experienced through our work together, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate space for self-exploration.”

  • “Caroline responds with insight I hadn't considered, despite years of prior therapy, and presents it warmly. I am comfortable with her, and feel that she understands me.”

  • “Caroline is such an amazing therapist. I came to her in a not great spot of life and she really helped me turn things around. She is very calm, kind, and insightful. I was going through a hard transition and having a lot of anxiety. Slowly but surely she helped me improve my coping skills, adjust my mindset, and gain confidence in many areas of my relationship. I highly recommend her!”

  • “Caroline exudes a warm energy that creates a safe space. I feel completely unjudged, validated, and comfortable being open with her.”
