How Carri works
Her background includes extensive work in substance use treatment and trauma-related care. Carri uses several evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When appropriate, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques for processing traumatic memories and mindfulness strategies to strengthen present-moment awareness. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and on building momentum toward their goals.
Carri practices in Tennessee. She approaches each client as an individual and works collaboratively to set goals that fit their life. The emphasis is on steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online work
Carri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include small exercises and practice tasks that fit well into online formats and daily routines.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT skills are taught step by step and can be practiced between sessions using phone or text check-ins when needed.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carri will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people converse face to face, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is enough. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These formats help maintain momentum and keep work focused on real-life changes.
