About Carrie
Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns, and related challenges such as self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes.
Carrie uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are collaborative and client-centered. She helps people set straightforward goals and practices they can use between meetings.
Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-based approaches when those fit a person's situation. Those methods are described in simple steps and exercises rather than technical language.
In sessions she focuses on skills that reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. That can include tracking thoughts and behaviors, learning grounding and emotion regulation skills, and experimenting with small changes in routine or communication.
People who come for help with addictions, parenting strains, intimacy-related issues, or ADHD concerns will find a practical, skills-oriented style. Carrie works with a broad list of related issues including grief, anger, bipolar-related struggles, and co-occurring problems that complicate treatment.
To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial appointment make it possible to map goals and choose which methods to try first. The emphasis is on concrete steps to make life feel more manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Online sessions can use structured exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to tackle anxiety, depression, and day-to-day problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. In remote sessions this often looks like short values exercises, committed-action planning, and mindfulness practices adapted for home or work routines.
Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current behavior. Remotely this can mean reviewing relational patterns, practicing new ways of communicating, and experimenting with small changes in interaction style.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Carrie will help identify which methods to try based on your goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time if something isn't working.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings are run. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to practice skills between sessions. Discuss practical limits and scheduling when you sign up so sessions fit your everyday routine.
