How Carrie works
Sessions focus on real skills and small steps that fit into busy routines. Her approach draws on a few well-established methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and act toward them even when feelings are difficult. Clients can expect a calm, direct tone in sessions.
Carrie emphasizes clear tools - breathing and grounding techniques, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning - that people can use between meetings. Progress is measured in manageable changes rather than abstract talk. With eight years of experience, Carrie blends practical strategies with an understanding approach.
She works with a broad range of concerns including attachment and personality challenges, substance use, and blended family issues. Her practice aims to help people find steadier footing and more satisfying daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thought that get in the way and test small behavior changes to see what works. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication. These skills can be useful for anger, mood instability, and stress that feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visible cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when screens are not wanted. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
