How Carrie’s Approaches Shape Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive, flexible space to talk about identity, relationships, or parenting challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions connect. Carrie uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and track small changes that improve mood and daily functioning. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and self esteem concerns.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past experiences are affecting current life. These methods aim to reduce the ways trauma shows up day to day and to build coping skills for handling triggers and painful memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. That collaborative planning can be adjusted over time as needs change.
