Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a frequent tool she uses to support lasting change. In sessions she offers steady support and straightforward guidance. She aims to be someone clients can rely on while they work through anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns.
Carrie also works with issues related to addiction, trauma and abuse, burnout, and attention differences. Her practice addresses a wide range of challenges including sleep and eating struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life transitions. She pays attention to complex situations such as co-occurring conditions, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce matters.
Across sessions Carrie blends client-centered listening with evidence-based strategies like CBT and elements from therapies that focus on emotions and acceptance. She invites people to set clear goals and try practical skills between sessions. The process is collaborative, paced to each person's needs, and aimed at helping them feel more effective in day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, pays attention to emotional responses and patterns in important relationships to help people feel more connected and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques and adjust over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
