About Carrie

Carrie Cooper brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy, centering cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered and trauma-focused techniques.

Background and approach

She draws on 23 years of clinical experience to help people examine patterns of thought and behavior, build coping skills, and address the emotional impact of life transitions and painful experiences. Carrie earned a Master of Science in Counseling and holds licensure as an LPCC and an LCMHC in the states where she practices.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship struggles, grief, eating issues, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, and co-occurring conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Carrie emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and nonjudgmental stance while collaborating with each person to shape a personalized plan. Clients can expect an optimistic, strengths-oriented environment in which clinical skills and coaching strategies are combined.

Carrie aims to support people as they increase self-awareness, develop practical tools, and move toward greater balance and well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress; CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and supports each person’s capacity for growth; this approach can be especially useful for building insight and emotional resilience. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences through structured, supportive work that helps people process distress and develop coping tools.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carrie works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and needs and adapts methods over time so the plan fits the individual rather than expecting a single technique to be all that is needed. This collaborative stance helps ensure that treatment remains practical and responsive.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow for consistent work around scheduling constraints and geographic distance, and they make it possible to use CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational strategies in ways that fit daily life and long-term goals.
