About Carrie
Carrie Gajowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship hurt, LGBT concerns, and struggles with self esteem. She focuses on emotional safety and practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. Her tone is direct and empathetic, aimed at people who want clear guidance and real change.
Carrie has seven years of clinical experience and works from a client-centered stance. Sessions are built around the person's immediate concerns and what they want to change. She draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based ideas to create straightforward, doable tools for daily life.
In therapy she pays attention to how past hurts, shame, and codependent patterns still affect choices today. Conversations often include learning better communication, setting boundaries, and reducing anxiety. When relationship dynamics or episodes of emotional abuse are present, she helps people name patterns and plan safer next steps.
Clients can expect short-term strategies and longer-term reflection when needed. Carrie also addresses life-purpose questions, midlife shifts, sexuality, and loneliness in ways that connect feelings to practical action. Her work aims to help people feel more capable, more self-loving, and more able to make decisions that match their values.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her California practice. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
