About Carrie
Carrie Harris is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She has 13 years of professional experience and holds LICSW and LCSW credentials.
Carrie adapts conversation and plans to the needs of each person she meets. She aims to make therapy a straightforward, respectful process rather than a list of clinical terms.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and helps build manageable routines and coping skills. That might mean talking through recent losses, learning ways to reduce panic, or practicing strategies to build confidence. The approach is collaborative and paced to what the person needs right now.
Carrie also has experience related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and women's issues. She brings that background into practical plans for everyday challenges rather than abstract theories. Her style is warm and direct.
She encourages people to name small goals and take steady steps toward them. Carrie sees seeking help as an act of courage and focuses on supporting and empowering people through change.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Carrie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on building coping skills and managing symptoms. One common element is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step ways to handle panic and anxiety. These techniques help people reduce intense moments and feel more in control day to day.She also emphasizes grief and loss work that helps people name what they have lost and find ways to remember and move forward. That often includes short exercises, paced reflection, and planning small actions that honor what matters. For trauma-related concerns she focuses on stabilizing strategies first, helping the person feel steadier before moving into deeper processing.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they track progress and adjust methods if something isn’t working, so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single style.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady progress.
