Focus areas and approaches

Everything Carrie lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that shape online sessions

Carrie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is often used for mood, anxiety, and workplace stress by focusing on actions you can practice between sessions.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. That method centers on exploring personal values and strengthening motivation for next steps. Attachment-focused ideas guide work on close relationships and patterns that repeat across relationships, helping people name needs and try new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, life situation, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or staying in touch between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or family life.
