About Carrie
Carrie Sullivan is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation, and navigating major life changes.
Carrie believes each person knows their own story best. She centers sessions on the client’s priorities and strengths. Conversations are honest and down-to-earth, and the pace is guided by what the client finds helpful.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That combination lets clients name what matters, try out new ways of thinking, and practice skills to cope when emotions run high.
In a session, Carrie listens first and helps people build on what’s already working. She offers straightforward strategies for managing worry, lifting low mood, and responding after painful events. She also supports people who are wrestling with guilt, loneliness, or questions about life purpose.
Her approach is collaborative and respectful. New clients complete a brief intake to help set goals and shape early sessions. Carrie’s tone is encouraging and realistic, aiming to make therapy a useful part of everyday life.
Client-centered approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them notice their strengths and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful when someone needs tools to cope in moments of strong feeling.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can shift as needs change over time.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many clients find remote sessions help them practice skills in day-to-day life and keep progress moving between visits.
