About Carrie

She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and depression. Carrie speaks English and draws on long experience helping people find practical ways to manage hard moments.
She uses straightforward methods to build coping skills and improve emotional regulation. Sessions tend to focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. Carrie also works with people facing adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, and autism-related challenges.
Her background includes work with caregivers, people dealing with isolation or midlife transitions, and those facing end-of-life or hospice issues. She also addresses trauma-related problems, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive mood concerns. Eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, and communication problems are part of her practice focus.
Carrie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work. Clients can expect clear, goal-oriented conversations and practical exercises to try between sessions. She aims to help people develop skills they can use when stress or difficult feelings arise.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment and scheduling details vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can identify their own priorities; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental setting to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors, then tests small changes to reduce distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-oriented style that explores a person’s readiness to change and builds motivation for steps they want to take.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the person and together decide which methods to try. Most plans mix techniques so sessions match immediate needs and longer term goals.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose an option that needs less bandwidth or does not require being on camera. Ask about specific session types when you schedule so you know what to expect.
