About Carla
Carla Primo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She practices in North Carolina and brings ten years of experience to sessions focused on parenting and family-related strain. Carla uses straightforward conversation to help people improve communication and set practical goals.
She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and offers small, concrete steps to try between sessions. Many clients seek help for intimacy-related worries, caregiver stress, or the strain that comes with divorce and separation.
Background and approach
Her work centers on clear skills that people can use at home. That can mean learning ways to speak so others hear you, setting limits when control issues arise, or finding daily routines that reduce anxiety. She supports people who want to find more purpose when life feels uncertain.
Carla describes her style as warm and direct. She balances empathy with honest feedback so progress is visible week to week. Sessions aim to be practical and to leave people with tools they can use immediately.
Over ten years in the field, Carla has helped individuals navigate parenting challenges and shifting family roles. She holds a Master of Social Work and carries the credentials LMSW and LCSW. For people juggling caregiving, communication breakdowns, or life transitions, she focuses on usable strategies and steady support.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills you can use right away. One approach emphasizes communication skills training - learning specific ways to express needs and set boundaries so conversations go differently. This helps with relationship strain, parenting conflicts, and control issues.Another approach centers on stress and anxiety management through practical tools like breathing exercises, activity scheduling, and problem-solving steps. These techniques aim to reduce daily overwhelm and make caregiving or life transitions more manageable.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. Video sessions let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter reflections or ongoing support between meetings. These options add flexibility for parents, caregivers, and busy people who need therapy to fit into complex days.
