About Carrie
Carrie Melton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes, and she lists support for LGBT concerns and relationship and family issues among her focus areas.
Carrie uses practical, hands-on methods to help people manage difficult feelings and everyday pressures. She often talks through communication patterns and coping strategies so people can take clearer steps in relationships and work. Sessions tend to focus on what feels most urgent to the person in front of her.
Her background includes work with grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue as well as challenges like ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. She also notes experience supporting people with attachment and intimacy-related struggles and those exploring alternative sexual cultures and kink-related questions.
Carrie draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to build practical skills and shift unhelpful patterns.
She aims to work collaboratively when deciding which skills to practice and which problems to focus on first. People who want to understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect often find this direct, skills-focused way of working helpful.
How Carrie’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns by breaking problems into small, practical steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that matter to the person, even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and values-based decisions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which supports stress and emotion regulation.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to try first based on goals and what feels most useful. Sessions can shift over time as needs change and as new skills are practiced.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and try shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to practice skills in real-life settings and bring that experience back into sessions for discussion.
