About Carrie

Carrie Collier is an LPC based in Michigan who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

With eight years of professional experience, she emphasizes practical strategies that help clients manage symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and work toward more satisfying daily functioning. Carrie uses a collaborative, client-centered stance that treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering structure and evidence-based tools.

Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relational dynamics. She blends practical skill-building with attention to values and connection when helping clients clarify goals.

Sessions focus on developing personalized plans that reflect current needs, whether the priority is managing anxiety, navigating relationship or parenting concerns, coping with loss, or addressing mood and impulse-related issues. Carrie aims to guide clients toward greater resilience and clearer direction through compassionate listening and targeted interventions.

Evidence-based approaches for online care and connection

Carrie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness skills to increase psychological flexibility and help people live with greater purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailor methods and homework to fit the individual's situation rather than applying a single technique to every case.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow sessions to fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats can make ongoing support more accessible by offering flexibility in how and when people connect with a licensed professional while still delivering structured therapeutic tools and guidance.
