How Carrie’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps that can be practiced between sessions and tracked over time.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s pace and priorities, helping them name goals and decide what changes feel most useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will discuss options and tailor methods to the client’s needs and goals in a collaborative way, adjusting pace and techniques as progress is made.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit appointments into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and lets them keep momentum between sessions. It can make it easier to follow through on behavioral tasks and daily habit changes because sessions arrive where life already happens.
