How Carie’s Approaches Work Online

Carie blends client-centered listening with targeted techniques to help people make change. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace, with the therapist reflecting and supporting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carie will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm session formats before booking since options are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try trauma-focused work like EMDR or CBT exercises from a familiar setting, with the therapist guiding each step. Ask about formats and scheduling when you match so sessions fit your routine.
