Carrie Fraser

Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee. She brings 28 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to feel more steady.

Carrie approaches therapy as a collaboration. She listens first to understand each person’s situation, then works alongside them to set practical goals. Her work often includes support for relationship concerns, codependency, intimacy issues, and coping after separation or divorce. She also addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and helps people navigating career strain, caregiving stress, or health-related challenges.

Her background includes long-term work in addiction recovery, crisis response, and spiritual direction. That experience shapes how she tailors sessions to fit where a person is right now. She mixes different therapeutic approaches to match individual needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Carrie uses practical tools to help reduce anxiety, improve communication, and build healthier patterns. She emphasizes strengths while also addressing difficult emotions and past wounds.

Seeking help can feel hard, and Carrie aims to make the first steps easier. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the posted process.

How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online and In Practice

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what the person says and helps them name their goals, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, shift mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing an approach is a shared task. Carrie will work with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That process can shift over time as needs change, and adjustments are made together rather than imposed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let people use visual or audio-only meetings depending on what feels most comfortable, and they can support steady work on goals between appointments. Licensed professionals adapt their techniques so practical tools and collaborative planning translate into remote sessions as effectively as in-person work.
