About Carrie

She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain. She emphasizes respect for each person's experience and helps them build on their own strengths.
Carrie believes clients are the experts on their lives. She listens closely and follows each person's lead while offering tools that can help day to day. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, and on noticing small changes that add up over time.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's voice and priorities. She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Together these methods aim to make sessions practical and grounded in what feels useful for the client.
Carrie works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship issues, parenting and blended family challenges, intimacy and sexuality questions, LGBT-related stress, self-esteem, and career or life transitions. She also supports people navigating kink and alternative sex cultures, non-monogamous relationships, and prejudice or discrimination.
Her style is supportive and straightforward. She helps people set realistic goals and try small experiments to build confidence. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How Carrie Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name priorities and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and offers practical experiments to try new patterns. Both approaches aim to be straightforward and useful for problems like anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, and difficulty sleeping.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to decide what tools or ideas to try first. She adjusts methods based on the client's goals, pace, and comfort so the work stays relevant and doable.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue regular work during life transitions and maintain momentum between in-person meetings when that fits the client's schedule.
