About Carrie
Carrie Gottschalk is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting strain. She works with concerns that include self-esteem, anger, depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career pressures, and relationship or family conflict. Her approach is practical and focused on helping people move forward.
She centers her work on a respectful, warm connection. Conversations are interactive and tailored to each person's needs.
How Carrie works
She emphasizes building on strengths and developing concrete problem-solving strategies. Sessions aim to be direct and approachable rather than full of jargon. Clinically she draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current patterns.
She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience and goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that get in the way. Carrie includes tools from dialectical behavior therapy when people need skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
For trauma-related concerns she may offer EMDR approaches to address distressing memories and symptoms. These methods are selected to match what a person needs in their situation. With ten years of professional experience as a LIMHP, Carrie focuses on clear steps a person can take between sessions.
She supports parents navigating adoption and foster care issues and people working through attachment or post-traumatic stress-related concerns. Her style is compassionate and goal-oriented to help people make meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions can use discussion and exercises to identify those patterns and build new ways of connecting in relationships and family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions this often means practicing thought records, behavior experiments, and planning small changes between meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. If something does not fit, the plan is adjusted collaboratively so the person stays involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy offers flexibility and options for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when warmth and eye contact matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit brief updates, coaching-style support, or moments when typing feels most comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
