Background and approach
From there she offers practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and getting through difficult transitions. Carrie draws on a few different methods to meet each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing intense emotions and building calm. Over the years she has supported people dealing with relationship stress, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with ADHD-related challenges, intimacy concerns, career questions, and family problems. Carrie aims to make sessions down-to-earth and focused on what leads to real day-to-day improvements. Sessions are conducted by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.

How Carrie blends evidence-based methods for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people sort out what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice and respond more calmly to strong emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carrie treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and checks in to make sure the plan feels useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels best. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily routines.
