About Carrie

Carrie Catterson-Fitzmaurice is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kansas. She brings 14 years of experience to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, and self esteem struggles. Carrie aims to create a relaxed setting where honesty and a bit of humor are welcome.

Her background includes work across community and home-based settings where she supported people facing parenting challenges, organizational struggles, ADHD, and relationship difficulties. She has also worked with older adults on adjustment, loss of independence, depression, and anxiety.

Carrie uses a blend of solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioral therapy. That mix lets sessions move toward clear, short-term goals while also addressing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She encourages practical steps and self-awareness between meetings.

In sessions she keeps things straightforward and goal oriented. People can expect direct conversation, concrete strategies, and space to talk through emotions and decisions. Carrie treats clients with respect and an open mind toward different lifestyles and beliefs.

Her work covers a broad set of life challenges, including trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, coping with life changes, and issues around communication and life purpose. People who want focused, down-to-earth help with self esteem and coping often find this approach useful.

How Carrie’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or self esteem struggles.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. Sessions often focus on what’s already working and small changes that move a person toward their goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change by exploring motivation and resolving mixed feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will collaborate with each person to choose which method fits their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as needs change, and she aims to make adjustments that feel helpful and realistic.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online or remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they work on stress, self esteem, or life transitions.
