About Carrie
Carrie Ryberg is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and couples. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, and major life changes. Carrie notes experience with military life and deployment-related issues from her time as a military spouse.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding steps that help people handle stress and feel more in control. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to build calmer responses. EMDR is part of her work for trauma processing when that fits a client's goals.
People often seek Carrie for relationship concerns, codependency patterns, divorce or separation, and family of origin difficulties. She also supports those facing grief, addiction struggles, obsessive thoughts, and mood disorders. Her experience includes working with compassion fatigue and challenges that come from caregiving and high-demand roles.
In sessions she blends solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to set achievable steps and keep progress measurable. The tone is pragmatic: identify a problem, try a change, review what worked, and adapt. That gives room for short-term problem solving and deeper trauma-focused work when needed.
Sessions are conducted in English in Illinois. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and testing small changes to see if they help. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing painful memories and reducing their emotional charge; it is used when trauma or abuse is a main concern and a client wants that work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will discuss options and recommend steps based on your goals, symptoms, and comfort level. The choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change, combining short-term problem solving with deeper trauma-focused methods when appropriate.
The site asks you to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Licensed professionals adapt approaches so therapeutic work fits regular life and practical constraints.
