Caroline “Carly” Baker, LCSW

Caroline "Carly" Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with five years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation and confidence. Her work also includes support for relationship and parenting concerns, anger, career issues, and coping with life changes.

Carly approaches therapy from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, honoring the idea that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources to move through difficulties. She integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused therapy to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Beginning therapy is often a courageous step, and Carly aims to create a respectful, collaborative environment that helps clients build resilience and practical tools for navigating their concerns. She meets clients where they are and works with them to set meaningful goals and track progress over time.
