About Carrie
Carrie Sullivan is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works with those feeling stuck by depression or struggling with big life changes. Carrie keeps things straightforward and focuses on practical steps a person can use right away.
She believes each person knows their story best and builds on a client’s existing strengths. Sessions are collaborative and nonjudgmental. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and clear guidance rather than jargon or long lectures.
Background and approach
Carrie uses methods that encourage change through thinking and action. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her Client-Centered approach keeps the conversation grounded in what matters most to the client. That means listening carefully, reflecting what’s important, and adjusting at each step based on the person’s goals. With five years of professional experience, she has worked with a range of common concerns including guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Carrie holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and offers sessions in English to people located in New York.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. In sessions the therapist reflects what she hears and follows the person’s priorities, which helps clarify goals and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering concrete tools to use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will discuss these methods with clients and choose or combine techniques based on someone’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try things out and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for an in-depth conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
