Dr. Carly Mayer

Psychologist

Virtual • Morristown, NJ


I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience providing individual, couples, and group therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, chronic mental health concerns, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive environment where you can better understand what is getting in the way, develop practical strategies for change, and build greater resilience and emotional well-being.

I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Louisiana Tech University and have trained and worked in a variety of clinical settings, including university counseling centers, inpatient and outpatient mental health programs, skilled nursing facilities, and community behavioral health agencies. My clinical experience includes diagnostic assessment, crisis intervention, individual and family psychotherapy, couples counseling, and working with adults managing chronic and complex mental health conditions. Throughout my career, I have also held clinical leadership positions, including serving as a Clinical Director of Services and Training and as a Regional Director within behavioral health organizations. In these roles, I have overseen clinical quality, supervised and trained clinicians, developed professional training programs, and worked closely with multidisciplinary treatment teams. These experiences have given me a broad perspective on mental health and strengthened my ability to understand each client within the larger context of their relationships, experiences, environment, and overall well-being.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Jersey City

Finding OCD therapists in Jersey City starts with looking for specific training, not just a general therapy match. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, rituals, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or related approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Jersey City offers access to many therapists, but the right fit still depends on practical details. If you want in-person therapy in Jersey City, consider office location, commute time, transit access, and appointment availability. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially if you want to work with an OCD therapist in New Jersey who has specific ERP training. Read therapist profiles closely to see whether they list OCD as an area of familiarity or describe direct experience with ERP, since that distinction can help you choose someone whose training matches your needs.

Therapy in Jersey City, NJ can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, and many take insurance and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
