About Carrie
Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship strain, and codependency concerns. She also supports people who wrestle with self-esteem, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
Carrie uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them name what matters. Conversations focus on practical skills people can try between sessions. Expect clear explanations and simple practices you can use day to day.
Her approach draws on several well-known therapies. Carrie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to clarify values and take action. Attachment-Based work and Client-Centered methods guide conversations about close relationships and emotional needs.
Sessions often include moment-to-moment coaching of coping skills. Carrie helps people notice patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around someone else’s moods. She offers steps for setting boundaries, managing cravings or urges, and regulating strong emotions.
People who prefer direct, practical support tend to find her approach useful. She works in English and practices in Michigan as an LPC. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To get started, clients follow the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and for people stuck in avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, and addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be useful for intimacy-related issues and codependency patterns.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with the client to decide what fits best based on current goals, concerns, and preferences. That process can include trying a skill-focused CBT exercise one week and a values-based ACT task the next.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online formats are offered for scheduling and session length. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera if that helps someone focus. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises so skills can be practiced between sessions and carried into daily routines.
