About Carol
Carol "Carrie" Horne uses a client-centered approach to help people move through stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She is an LCPC with 40 years of experience based in Maine. Her style is straightforward and respectful, focused on understanding each person's experience and strengths.
Therapy with Carrie centers on listening first. She helps people name what is most troubling and then sets practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions often include questions, gentle reflection, and collaborative goal-setting so progress feels manageable.
How Carol works
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to build moment-to-moment coping skills. Psychodynamic ideas can help make sense of patterns that repeat across relationships and time.
Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood and panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue. Carrie combines short-term, solution-focused work with deeper exploration when needed so people can both get relief and understand roots of their struggles. People who come for help leave with clearer steps they can use between sessions.
The aim is steady progress toward better coping, improved mood, and a renewed sense of direction. Carrie works with each person at their own pace to build resilience and hope.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist creates a supportive space so people can name what matters, set goals, and choose steps that feel doable; this helps with stress, life changes, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework that can be reviewed together during video or phone meetings.
Mindfulness therapy teaches brief practices to calm the body and focus attention in the moment. These skills can reduce reactivity to stress and support coping during difficult memories or triggers.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and the problem at hand. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging is convenient for shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
