Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and checking what’s working between meetings. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people live in line with what matters to them.
When attachment wounds or relationship strain are part of the picture, she brings attachment-focused thinking into the conversation. Clients can expect clear steps and gentle challenges. Carrie emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety, mood swings, and attention struggles.
She also supports people managing burnout, compassion fatigue, and the fallout from trauma. With eight years as an LPC, Carrie combines practical tools with steady support. She meets people where they are and helps them try small changes that add up.
Her aim is to help clients move from surviving to making choices that feel more sustainable and meaningful.
Practical approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and when attention or motivation are barriers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that repeat over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods that match their goals and daily life. She helps clients try different tools, reviews what helps, and adjusts the plan over time so the therapy fits practical needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit a work break. Live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands while still focusing on skill practice and change.
