About Carrie
Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, and challenges common in young adulthood such as career and identity questions.
Carrie uses practical, person-focused methods to help people sort through life changes. She listens, asks questions, and helps clients map small steps that can ease daily strain. Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple strategies that can be used between meetings.
Her background includes long-term work in mental health, addiction recovery, crisis response, and spiritual direction. That mix informs how she helps people facing substance use, codependency, bereavement, and transitions like job changes or separation. She brings decades of experience to common life problems without overcomplicating them.
Therapeutic work with Carrie tends to be collaborative. She draws from several approaches to match a person's needs and preferences. If you are an adult dealing with the pressures of leaving home, starting a career, or navigating relationships, she offers steady, experienced support.
Sessions focus on what is useful now and what can change over time. Practical tools, conversational reflection, and motivational support are used to address mood, coping, and relationship patterns. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they can make their own choices; it helps with self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test and change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-oriented conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change, often useful for substance use or stuck decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will discuss which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and make adjustments as therapy progresses. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions practical and focused on measurable steps.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to continue care while relocating within the same state. Ask about available formats when you schedule the first appointment.
