People can expect straightforward conversations about what is and isn’t working in their lives. Goals, approaches, and homework are decided together so therapy fits each person’s circumstances and schedule.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. In online sessions, CBT often includes clear skill practice and brief homework to use between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard. Online ACT can guide short exercises and daily choices that align with what matters most.Finding the right method is part of the process. Carrie will work together with the client to decide which approaches fit best based on goals, challenges, and personal preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing skills between sessions simpler, since tools and exercises can be shared and reviewed during remote meetings.
