How Carrie’s methods translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test thoughts that keep them stuck. Sessions often include simple exercises and real-life practice to change patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting ruled by them. It helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values, even when things feel hard.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. That shared decision-making helps tailor tools like CBT or ACT to each person’s daily life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also permit using mindfulness exercises and homework between meetings to support progress in everyday settings.
