Gail Carpenter, LCSW

Gail Carpenter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 32 years of practice in New York and Rhode Island. She centers her work on helping adults restore balance through a combination of talk therapy and complementary approaches - including meditation, attention to nutrition, physical activity, and spiritual reflection. Her practice philosophy frames treatment as a collaborative process, with goals and methods tailored to each person's needs and clarified during an initial evaluation.

Gail offers a broad toolkit of approaches to fit diverse preferences and concerns. Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), creative visualization, meditation, and eco-therapy. She also integrates experiential and energy-based practices that she has trained in - such as a walk-and-talk program, Reiki Master Usui/HolyFire II ART, Certified Quantum Touch, the Certified Crystal Method of Healing, and sound therapy.

Her clinical specialties focus on adults age 21 and older, with particular experience treating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), grief and loss, and adjustment to medical illnesses. Gail also works with clients on sports enhancement, geriatric concerns such as isolation and family communication, life transitions, and finding happiness at different stages of life. Services have been provided through tele-therapy, face-to-face meetings, distance healing, and house calls, depending on individual needs.
