About Carleigh
Carleigh O'Brien is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience working in Montana. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, usable changes over time.
She trained at Walla Walla University and has spent close to a decade building skills in evidence-informed approaches. In session she blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness practices and client-centered listening. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce distress.
Carleigh also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. She helps people understand how past hurts shape current interactions and offers ways to communicate more clearly. Parents and people facing life transitions can work on practical strategies for daily stress and emotional regulation.
Trauma and grief are part of her focus areas as well. She supports people coping with past abuse, postpartum depression, or post-traumatic stress by pacing work and addressing immediate safety and coping needs. She also offers help for intimacy-related concerns and sexual assault recovery.
Expect sessions that are collaborative and goal-oriented. Carleigh uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered support.
