Background and approach

How Carrie’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people change how they connect with others and manage triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie takes a collaborative stance and will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and challenges. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for a full face-to-face style, phone works well when video is not possible, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and short updates between sessions. These options make scheduling easier for people balancing work, family, or other commitments and allow practical skills to be practiced in everyday settings.
