Carmen Altopiedi L.C.S.W. Therapy Works
During Difficult times in life, we may experience feelings of loneliness, isolation and sadness; these are very normal reactions to situations and traumas we encounter. I would like to assist in coping with some of these feelings. Part of my experience as a seasoned therapist is to assist and listen, and together we can tackle life’s challenges, leading to a healthier outlook on life. I worked in the mental health field for over 10 years, I believe in meeting the client were you are and together developing a therapeutic plan that is tailored to meet you needs.
I’ve worked with a vast population with a wide range of concerns, LGBTQ+ senior population, isolation, loneliness, depression, and anxiety to name a few.
I look forward to working together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Carmen has been very helpful. He’s very easy to talk to.
I really feel comfortable working with Carmen he’s a good listener and provides great feed back. I look forward to our sessions.
Carmen is extremely professional, understanding, and clearly passionate about his work. I haven’t felt like I connected with a therapist so easily before, and after only a month of therapy, I can see how much he has helped. Highly recommend!
Carmen has been extremely adept in finding the right questions to ask to help me navigate a relationship issue I'm working through. Not only has he helped directly, but his insights have made it possible to improve the communications in my primary relationship. I highly recommend Carmen. The only reason not to would be to conserve appointment space for myself :)
Very helpful and supportive and bears a lot of knowledge on many topics.
Incredibly helpful and thoughtful and provides me with a lot of insight and support to help me get better.
He’s been a wonderful therapist and I couldn’t be happier with the support I have received from him. He’s a great guy! Would recommend him to anyone!
