About
Joshua Carey is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and stress. He builds work around each person’s goals and circumstances, offering a thoughtful space to explore emotions, clarify values, and address relationship and workplace challenges. His practice emphasizes practical steps toward growth while honoring the complexity of healing.
Carey places attention on areas that often intertwine with core symptoms, including attachment concerns, communication difficulties, control issues, and isolation or loneliness. He also supports people navigating life transitions such as divorce and separation, workplace strain, and questions about life purpose. His focus extends to topics like guilt and shame, self-love, sexuality, and issues people may experience with social anxiety or panic.
Drawing on evidence-informed methods, he aims to help clients develop resilience, expand self-understanding, and manage distress in everyday life. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual, with a focus on practical tools and long-term emotional growth rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online sessions and therapeutic focus
Joshua Carey offers an approach that centers on emotional exploration and practical coping. He works with clients to identify patterns of thinking and feeling, to process difficult experiences, and to build resilience in response to stress, grief, or trauma. That work often involves clarifying personal values and strengthening self-compassion as foundations for change.
Interpersonal and relational work is also a common emphasis. Carey supports clients in improving communication, addressing attachment and control issues, and navigating transitions such as separation or workplace conflict. This focus is intended to help clients better understand relational patterns and to develop new ways of connecting that reflect their goals.
Care is collaborative and tailored to individual needs. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose how they connect for ongoing sessions and between-session support.
