About Carrie
Carrie Collier is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and other adults on common pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. She also supports people managing trauma, addiction concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and attention-related difficulties.
Carrie uses a collaborative, client-centered approach. She treats sessions as practical conversations that mix listening with clear tools. Sessions often include techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-based work, and emotion-focused strategies to help people respond differently to hard feelings.
Her background emphasizes real-world skills. That can mean learning ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or looking at attachment patterns that influence relationships. She also brings approaches useful for people coping with substance use, anger, or significant life transitions.
Carrie works with people who want concrete steps as well as space to reflect. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as tools rather than labels. Sessions focus on what the person needs now and what small changes might help in daily life.
People meet her to sort out problems like parenting stress, eating concerns, bipolar-related challenges, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. She offers steady, practical guidance aimed at helping clients manage symptoms, improve relationships, and make clearer decisions about next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and decisions about work or relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which is useful for intimacy-related issues and repeating relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and coping responses, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than sticking to a single model. That means checking in and adjusting methods as therapy progresses so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use audio-only options when video would take more bandwidth or choose a session length that fits around a job or school break. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-focused work, and CBT exercises so they remain practical and skill-based in a virtual setting.
