Carrie blends evidence-based techniques with compassionate guidance, drawing on a background that includes work in mental health, addiction recovery, crisis management, life transition support, and spiritual direction. She uses a mixture of approaches individualized to each person’s needs so that therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Carrie holds an LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and maintains a Tennessee license (TN LMFT 1625). She emphasizes a nonjudgmental, respectful environment where empathy and mutual regard guide the work toward growth and healing.

Carrie values the courage it takes to seek help and aims to meet people where they are on their journeys. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. It helps people build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and explore values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress; it is action-oriented and often used for coping strategies and symptom relief. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps people resolve ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation, commonly used in work with addictions and readiness for life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carrie works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques and styles fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve. The aim is to tailor interventions so they feel useful and relevant to each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, engaged therapeutic work while accommodating varied schedules and needs.
