See online therapy optionsAbout Carrie
Carrie Sullivan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Carrie also helps with feelings of guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Carrie uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She listens for how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and then suggests concrete strategies to try. Sessions are practical and oriented toward skills people can use between appointments.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy techniques to follow each person’s priorities and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. These methods are offered as tools to work with, not guarantees of outcome.
People who come to Carrie can expect to talk through current struggles, practice simple exercises, and set small, measurable goals. She frames each step as an experiment - notice what changes, then adjust. That keeps work focused and manageable.
Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats she offers through the site so they understand how appointments will be scheduled and delivered.
How Carrie uses CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods online
Carrie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and simple behavioral experiments to try between appointments and track results.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. DBT techniques are presented as step-by-step strategies to manage intense moments and reduce reactive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy is used to follow each person’s priorities and pace, with the therapist listening closely to what matters most to the client.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Carrie will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what is or isn't helpful. Sessions are treated as experiments where progress is reviewed and plans are changed when needed.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be delivered. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter coaching-style check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so people can focus on skill practice. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain momentum between sessions.
