About Carri

She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and a wide range of related issues.

She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Work can include coping skills for career stress, parenting strain, anger, and major life transitions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps set practical goals to work on between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and builds concrete skills to change behavior and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity when it fits the client’s needs.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what works best. Plans can be adjusted over time based on the client’s progress and preferences.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to work over distance so the same types of tools used in person can be practiced between sessions.
