About Carrie

Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, and stress. Carrie also lists focus areas like addictions, ADHD, body image, and caregiver stress.

She earned a Master of Science in Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Over two decades of practice have given her experience with people from many backgrounds. Her work emphasizes clear, practical steps and an optimistic approach to change.

Carrie uses client-centered methods that begin by listening and understanding what matters most to the person in front of her. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build different habits. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods are used when they fit the problem being addressed.

Sessions are designed around what each person wants to achieve. Carrie helps people name concrete goals and then tries different strategies to meet them. She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change or are dealing with addiction and relapse triggers.

Her background includes work with grief, eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, feelings of emptiness, family of origin issues, and the effects of domestic violence. The emphasis is on practical tools, steady progress, and adjusting plans when needed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Online CBT sessions often include structured exercises, homework, and skill practice that can be done between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's concerns and goals; the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to shape sessions that matter to them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build awareness, and these exercises can be introduced and practiced during remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will discuss which methods fit the person's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or new needs appear.

The original profile did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while working on anxiety, trauma recovery, or behavior change with a licensed professional.
