About Carri

How Carri works
Over time her work expanded to include parents, children with behavioral or learning differences, and caregivers handling dementia and aging issues. Her background includes nearly two decades working in education as a school counselor and administrator. That role involved advising parents, managing IEPs and 504 plans, and helping with behavior strategies and academic concerns.
She also spent 15 years conducting family evaluations related to custody, adoption, and guardianship matters, which broadened her perspective on problem solving in stressful family situations. Carri uses straightforward methods that focus on thoughts, feelings, and actions. She draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused strategies to set goals and build useful skills.
Sessions are aimed at making changes that fit daily life, such as handling stress, improving communication, or managing mood swings. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space and works to build trust quickly. Carri helps people make plans, try new approaches, and take small steps toward better coping and clearer choices.

Using practical approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people talk through what matters most so they can make their own choices. This style is useful for emotional support, parenting struggles, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It includes straightforward exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. CBT often works well for stress, anxiety, depression, and behavior concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then adapts methods to fit the person. Clients can try different techniques and decide what helps most as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, handle a quick check-in without being on camera, or use shorter written check-ins between longer sessions. The variety of formats supports ongoing access and flexible ways to practice new skills.
