About Carrie
Carrie Collier, LPC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and family concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Her style is calm and collaborative, with an emphasis on clear tools and steady support.
Carrie uses a client-centered approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. She combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based work to help people reduce unhelpful thinking and act on what matters most. Sessions aim to build skills for emotion regulation, coping with change, and managing urges related to addictions.
Her background includes eight years of professional experience in Michigan. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the needs of each person. This includes attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current struggles.
In practical terms, clients can expect structured conversations, goal-setting, and simple exercises to try between sessions. Carrie emphasizes small, realistic steps that add up over time. She also addresses concerns like parenting strain, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.
People who prefer a respectful, down-to-earth approach may find her style approachable. She aims to create a space where hard topics can be talked through without judgement. To start, she encourages people to clarify what they want to change and then work together on a plan.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that feed distress and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It can help with stress, mood concerns, and some addictive behaviors.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and managing emotions. It can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship patterns, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean blending tools from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
