She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s concerns. EMDR is part of her toolkit for trauma-related work, and she uses Solution-Focused methods when people want short-term, goal-oriented steps.

People who contact her typically start by explaining their main concern. From there she helps prioritize steps, sets measurable goals, and reviews options for ongoing support.
How Carie uses structured approaches in online sessions
Carie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and letting the person set the pace of the conversation. EMDR is used for trauma-related memories and involves guided processing to reduce distress tied to past events.Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. She works collaboratively to match methods to the person’s goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That means trying a short plan, reviewing how it went, and adjusting the approach based on what helped most.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use structured worksheets, behavioral experiments to try between sessions, and focused goal reviews that work well in scheduled online meetings.
