- Couples Welcome - In-Person or Online - Same daily fight? Navigating an affair? Deciding about separation? We explore building trust, safety and a sense of partnership. We look at painful patterns, but also see you both as individuals with desires in the relationship and in your lives. We can explore how patterns influence your lives together today and expand the parts that are serving you and evolve the ones that aren’t. The results may include building new boundaries, confronting shame and evolving relationship-narratives. I offer a safe, trusting space so that you both can feel settled and explore your relationship vulnerably.

Welcome! I’m Carly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes therapy should feel like a real, non-judgmental conversation . I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions where I take a down-to-earth, collaborative approach. My style is warm, honest, and practical—my goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and actually helped. I want our work to feel like a space where you can breathe, grow, and feel more like yourself again.”

As a social worker, I want my clients to know that I approach our work together with empathy, respect, and without judgment. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to work collaboratively with you to build on your strengths and help you reach your goals. I have a particular focus in working with Neurodiverse people and college age. I am here to listen, support, and advocate alongside you as we navigate challenges together.

I am a creative, strengths-based, and empowering clinical mental health counselor who believes deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Experiential Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I also work from a person-centered lens, prioritizing what matters most to you as we navigate your unique path toward healing and clarity.

I bring seven years of experience in crisis intervention, which has strengthened my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and steady during life’s most challenging moments. As I transition into work focused on ongoing therapeutic relationships, I am excited to partner with clients who are ready to step into their growth, explore new perspectives, and become the best version of themselves.

As a Christian, my faith shapes my worldview, and I am comfortable integrating spirituality into the counseling process for clients who desire it. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and support their journey with respect and intention.

I look forward to empowering you to step outside your comfort zone, build meaningful insight, and cultivate the life you were created to live.

I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Miami, completed my internship at Yale School of Medicine and my fellowship at CHA/Harvard Medical School.

I have specialized training in health psychology including cancer, autoimmune disease, GI disease, infertility, third party reproduction, pregnancy loss, peripartum mental health, adjustment to parenting. I help with anxiety, depression, ADHD and burnout.

I have worked with many different populations and people struggling with a variety of concerns. I am particularly interested in working with adults and adolescents experiencing ADHD, depression/mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, grief and loss, and adjustment to life transitions.

I earned a Master of social work from Simmons School of Social Work and I am licensed in Massachusetts as an independent clinical social worker.

About Marc Maccini, LMHC

Helping you find your voice and find your way.

If you feel "stuck"—whether in your career, your relationships, or your own skin—you aren't alone. Often, the path forward isn't about working harder, but about finding the right tools to navigate life with more confidence and clarity. I specialize in helping individuals break through those plateaus, develop firm assertiveness skills, and reclaim their sense of direction.

Background: I earned my Master of Education (M.Ed) from the University of Massachusetts and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My background in both education and the arts allows me to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world relatability.
