About Carrie
Carrie Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing depression, grief, relationship and family challenges, and supports those coping with trauma, mood changes, and caregiving strain. Carrie brings a warm, down-to-earth presence and a practical mindset to sessions.
She trained at Brandeis University and completed a Master of Social Work at Florida International University. Much of her career was in the nonprofit sector where she worked with children, adults, and families facing complex concerns.
Background and approach
She also supervised therapists and program directors, and participated in quality improvement work to keep services effective and responsive. Carrie uses a blend of methods rather than one single approach. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
In practice this means conversations are focused, goal-oriented, and tailored to each person’s situation. Sessions aim to identify concrete steps people can try between meetings. She watches how strategies are working and adjusts them when needed.
Carrie is straightforward and brings a bit of humor when appropriate to help people stay engaged in the process. Based in Florida, she supports adults dealing with parenting stress, first responder issues, adoption and foster care questions, and compassion fatigue. Communication in sessions is in English.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It focuses on practical experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for mood dysregulation, impulsivity, and strong relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan as progress is tracked, so the approach fits the individual’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above to address stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and mood issues.
