About Carol

Carol Ciacci , LCSW

I intend to offer a space that is safe, supportive, and free of judgements. My style is conversational and grounded making sessions feel like meaningful dialogue rather than something clinical or scripted. Rooted in honesty and authenticity, my collaborative approach invites you to openly explore your inner world and problematic patterns.

Therapy invites vulnerability, introspection, and the courage to face personal challenges. I work to foster an environment that encourages this growth - where you can better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We’ll create an opportunity for you to reflect, understand, grow and build practical tools for navigating life’s complexities.
