Carrie also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new, healthier habits.

Trauma-focused work is available for people who need support processing painful experiences. Over 23 years Carrie has helped people with a wide list of concerns. These include relationship strain, parenting stress, body image and eating issues, caregiver burden, chronic illness, substance use, attachment and abandonment worries, and coping with major life changes.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are offered in English from Utah. Carrie aims to build a respectful, calm space where adults can talk through tough problems, set realistic goals, and try practical strategies that fit their daily life.
How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. In this approach the therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the client wants to change, making it useful for many life concerns and transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and pattern-based problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and improve coping during stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That means clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful and practical for day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
