About Carrie
Her approach is grounded in an empathic, client-centered stance that adapts to each person’s needs. Carrie integrates tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness to address trauma responses, anxiety, and the patterns that keep people stuck. She focuses on practical steps and inner work alike - helping clients rebuild boundaries, process painful experiences, and strengthen self-trust.
For those preparing to leave or reshape complicated relationships, Carrie offers guidance on decision-making, safety planning, and reclaiming a sense of self. Her goal is to help people move toward relationships and a life where they feel seen, heard, and respected, and to support them in creating choices that reflect their values and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and supporting each person to explore their feelings at their own pace. It helps people regain confidence, clarify values, and feel understood during difficult relationship and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and the self-critical thoughts that can follow emotional abuse.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting consumed by them, and then commit to actions that align with their values. It can be useful for building resilience and moving toward meaningful goals after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carrie works collaboratively with each person - exploring goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which methods to emphasize and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit busy or changing schedules. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or while traveling and to access support in a way that suits each person’s needs.
