She listens first and builds a practical plan with each person. Expect a respectful, patient approach without judgment as goals and steps are mapped out together.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in residential settings and independent practice with people from many walks of life. That experience informs how she tailors support for grief, parenting challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses adoption and attachment-related issues when they are part of someone’s story.
Carrie uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies to manage strong feelings and build values-based action.
Supervision and continued learning are part of her routine. She supervises other therapists and keeps up with current research and ethical best practices. This means clients benefit from an approach that stays grounded in clinical experience and ongoing professional development.
When someone begins work with her, the focus is on clear goals, practical steps, and steady progress. Carrie aims to make appointments feel like useful time spent toward better daily functioning and clearer direction.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck by anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person's experience, letting them lead while the therapist offers empathic listening and support for finding solutions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from a distance. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins and shorter exchanges between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family life.
