Therapeutic approaches delivered through online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility through practical exercises and values-based goals. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching ways to move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. This approach supports work on intimacy issues, adoption and attachment concerns, parenting challenges, and family relationships by exploring relational needs and strengthening emotional bonds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based method that identifies and shifts unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and coping with change by teaching strategies for problem solving and mood management.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Carrie will partner with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt techniques to fit the individual’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
