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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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!
