Background and approach
She draws on decades of client work to shape straightforward plans that fit each person's situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Her approach centers on listening carefully and helping people notice patterns that get in the way.
Carrie uses client-centered methods to build a trusting working relationship, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. Mindfulness and trauma-focused methods are used when needed to manage painful memories and intense reactions. In sessions she helps people break large problems into smaller tasks.
That can mean setting short-term steps for managing anxiety, planning healthier routines, or addressing substance use with motivational interviewing strategies. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, and major life changes. Carrie aims to make therapy practical and hopeful.
She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. Many people find this clear, goal-focused style helpful when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people clarify their priorities and goals, which is useful for worries like stress, relationship strain, or low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that fuel problems like depression or ADHD-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include short-term goals, skill practice between sessions, and adjustments as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and let the therapist observe body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, mood tracking, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care through transitions.
