About Carrie
Carrie Hillebrandt is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) and a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with 16 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, and life changes. Carrie also supports clients facing ADHD, bipolar concerns, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and work or career stress.
She uses straightforward conversations and goal-focused sessions. Carrie draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Attachment-Based work, and client-centered methods. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most urgent and to develop practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
Her background includes work in residential settings and private practice. That range means she has experience with people at different points of need, from immediate crisis and adjustment to longer-term coping and growth. She also has experience with adoption and foster-care related concerns and attachment issues.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful approach without criticism. Carrie emphasizes building rapport early so people feel heard and understood before moving into specific strategies. She keeps professional development current by attending trainings, reading, and consulting with colleagues.
Her practice perspective is collaborative - she works with each person to set goals and a plan. For young adults navigating college, first jobs, identity questions, or the stress of new independence, she offers practical tools and steady support.
How Carrie’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about meaning and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and family-related concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Carrie will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions can be flexible and focused on practical next steps rather than only discussion.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and worksheets between meetings to support progress in everyday life. Carrie uses her training in CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed work to adapt exercises for remote sessions, helping clients practice new skills in real contexts.
