About Carrie
Carrie Melton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions, and offers particular support around LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice how they relate to others and to themselves. Sessions include talking through communication patterns, managing social anxiety, and identifying small changes that reduce overwhelm. Carrie draws on techniques that help with mood, focus, and everyday functioning.
Her background includes a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. She mixes skill-building with reflective work so people learn new responses and also understand the habits that keep them stuck.
Common topics she addresses include coping with life changes, grief, burnout and compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and challenges tied to chronic illness or disability. She also supports people working through issues related to sexuality, kink, and relationship boundaries.
Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and paced to match what the client can handle. Carrie aims to help people identify practical steps for clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, and steadier mood management. The focus is on usable tools and real-world practice, not on labels or quick fixes.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions even when emotions are strong. It focuses on values and committed steps that reduce avoidance and build a steadier life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing them through practical skills and experiments. It tends to be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Therapists generally adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT worksheets for remote sessions so skills can be practiced between meetings and brought back to the next appointment.
