How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change mood and stress. It is useful when anxiety, low mood, or patterns of thinking get in the way of daily life.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding personal reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone build their own motivation for taking steps forward, which can be helpful for addiction, making lifestyle changes, or increasing follow-through.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then agree on a plan together. That plan can mix techniques so it fits the person’s situation and evolves as needs change.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, problem-solving between sessions, or when written reflection feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
