About Carrie
Carrie Leafblad is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also works with issues around relationships, parenting stress, and addiction-related struggles.
Carrie uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques to focus on practical changes. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate to address intense emotions and past trauma.
In sessions she prioritizes clear goals and steady steps. People can expect conversations about patterns of thinking, coping skills to reduce overwhelm, and practice strategies to try between meetings. She often works on communication problems, body image, caregiving stress, and managing anger or impulsivity.
Her background includes work with people facing chronic illness, dissociation, domestic violence recovery, and grief after separation or loss. She also addresses ADHD-related challenges, addiction, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. Her approach balances practical skill-building with attention to emotional experience.
Sessions are designed to be concrete and action-oriented, with regular check-ins on progress. The process emphasizes collaboration on goals, small experiments to test new behaviors, and review of what’s working.

How her approaches translate to online work
Many of Carrie’s methods focus on noticing thoughts, testing different responses, and building practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person’s priorities guide the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you bring and help decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs and progress change.
The biography does not list particular online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or let people choose audio-only when they prefer not to be on camera. Ask about the current session options to see what will best fit everyday life and scheduling needs.
