How her approaches translate to online work
Carrie often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of current thoughts and feelings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons for taking steps. That approach is useful when someone is weighing changes related to substance use, impulsive behaviors, or other habits that feel stuck. Carrie works together with clients to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and daily life.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist will help arrange a way of working that fits into a usual day and commitments. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into a lunch break, reduces travel time, or allows a shorter check-in if that suits their needs. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills practice and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions, and Carrie will discuss what will work best for planned goals and circumstances.
