How Carrie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered Therapy is built around each person’s goals and values, so online sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps that fit their daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses simple, structured work to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which adapts well to a remote format with worksheets, exercises, and short between-session tasks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and breathing or grounding practices that can be guided during a virtual session and practiced between meetings.Carrie will work together with the client to choose approaches that match needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work, not a one-time decision.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, and it supports steady progress with regular appointments.
