Background and approach
She has guided parents through IEP and 504 planning and offered hands-on strategies for managing behavior at home and school. For the past 15 years Carri has also conducted family evaluations related to custody, adoption, and guardianship. That work gave her experience with families facing conflict, domestic violence, and complex legal processes, and added practical problem-solving tools to her counseling style.
Carri typically blends client-centered approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work. She emphasizes an honest therapeutic relationship and focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Sessions are meant to be encouraging, goal-oriented, and geared toward helping people make actionable changes.
People who prefer a supportive, direct counselor will find her approachable. Carri aims to empower clients to make decisions, reduce stress, and build better routines for themselves and their families.
Practical approaches for online counseling
Carri uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person in the room, helping people feel heard and understood while they identify goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to help reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful behavior patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and quick, practical steps so clients can try small changes between sessions and track progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to test methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needed. Clients can expect to discuss what helps and what doesn’t, then move toward concrete actions that support daily life.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or text can fit brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit counseling into busy routines and keep continuity across life changes.
