About Carrie
Carrie Gottschalk is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and career or life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals to reduce problems that feel overwhelming.
Carrie uses straightforward, interactive conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship history affects present reactions. Other tools she may use include dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, and client-centered techniques when they fit the person’s needs.
Her approach emphasizes problem-solving and short-term skills as well as exploring deeper issues when needed. She works with clients to set achievable goals and to track progress between sessions. Homework and behavior experiments are common when they help build real change in daily life.
Carrie also focuses on adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue for people in stressful roles. She explains methods plainly and helps clients choose what feels most useful for their situation.
Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the site's intake process. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can use CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try small behavior changes, and review homework together. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related habits.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions. In remote sessions this can mean talking through relationship patterns and practicing new ways of relating in daily life. It can help with family and relationship concerns and attachment issues tied to adoption or foster care histories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will discuss what methods seem most helpful based on a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust strategies over time in collaboration with the client.

Therapists can use video to observe interactions and use exercises, or use audio for a simpler check-in depending on what the provider offers.
