Background and approach
Dr. Bass-Carrigan draws on Client-Centered methods to build rapport and make people feel heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and stress coping.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone needs support making a change. Typical concerns addressed include anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports people facing relationship strain, career transitions, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related questions, and symptoms of ADHD.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and applicable to daily life. Her practice is based in Arkansas and sessions use practical techniques you can use right away. Many clients appreciate a focus on refilling emotional resources and building routines that sustain progress.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and active listening. The therapist creates a respectful space and follows the client's lead to build trust and clearer goals. This approach helps when someone needs support feeling understood and making decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical alternative behaviors. It is very hands-on and works well for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete skills and exercises to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that seem most useful. Adjustments are made as progress is observed so the plan stays relevant and actionable.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and texting works well for ongoing, flexible support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
