Approaches that guide online work
Carrie often uses attachment-based therapy to help people understand patterns that formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. This approach focuses on connection and emotional safety and can be useful for attachment issues and family of origin concerns.She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person's goals and experience. In this approach the therapist listens closely, offers reflection, and supports people as they decide what changes to make. Cognitive behavioral therapy is another common tool she uses for stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges because it breaks down unhelpful thoughts and builds new coping strategies.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Carrie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the plan together. That collaborative process helps make sure the approach matches the problem and the client's comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video simulates an in-person meeting and is good for longer therapy work. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options provide flexibility so clients can choose what fits their schedule and communication style.
