She also supports people facing big life changes and those struggling with guilt, loneliness, or questions about life purpose.

Carrie uses a client-centered approach, which means she listens carefully and follows the person’s lead. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior ideas are used when people need skills for emotional regulation and tolerating distress. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. People can expect clear goals, exercises to try between sessions, and chances to review what worked.
Carrie respects each person’s pace and helps build on the strengths already present in their life. With five years of professional experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she brings clinical background and practical focus to her work. Her style suits people who want straightforward guidance rather than a lot of jargon.
She offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs. The initial steps are simple: complete a short questionnaire, match with a therapist, and schedule a time to begin working toward clearer coping and greater stability.
How Carrie Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening closely to the person’s story and following their priorities. It helps people feel heard and builds on strengths they already have. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and anxiety. It is practical and often involves exercises between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy adds emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will talk with the person about goals, challenges, and what methods feel useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people maintain a face-to-face rhythm without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep building skills consistently.
