How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. Online CBT sessions focus on practical skills and short exercises that clients can apply between appointments.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person’s reasons for change. When someone feels stuck, this approach helps clarify values and build internal motivation for making steady progress.

Carrie works with clients to choose the approach that fits their goals and preferences. She explores what feels useful, adjusts techniques over time, and sets clear, attainable steps together so progress is visible and measurable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and cue-based exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins, and chat or text can fit quick updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep momentum between meetings.
