About Karrie
Karrie Houston is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports concerns around relationships, anger, and self-esteem. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people feel more confident and motivated.

Background and approach
Karrie draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit to help people find their own reasons for change.
Her background includes five years of professional practice in Michigan as an LMSW, which she uses to guide practical steps in therapy. She focuses on real-life issues like feeling isolated, working through attachment and abandonment concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions often cover communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, self-love, and finding life purpose.
Karrie aims to help people build everyday coping skills they can use outside sessions. She encourages gradual progress and practical changes rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening without judgment; it helps when someone needs a calm space to understand feelings and set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts readiness when motivation is low.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karrie will check in about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing updates, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy schedule.
