How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online
Two of her main methods are cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on what is working now and builds small, realistic steps toward clear goals; it suits people who want fast, actionable change.Motivational Interviewing complements these approaches by helping people clarify their reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation. Together these methods are chosen collaboratively at the start of work so the plan fits each person's goals and preferences. The therapist checks in and adjusts the approach as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for full conversations and working on interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat or messaging allow ongoing support and brief goal tracking between longer conversations. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
