About Carrie

Carrie Collier, LPC, helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, codependency concerns, and life transitions. She aims to make therapy feel practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on small steps that you can use between meetings. Her language is plain and she centers each person’s goals during sessions.

Carrie draws on several therapeutic methods to match what a person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered practices to follow a person’s pace and priorities. Attachment-based perspectives help when patterns from close relationships keep repeating.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Carrie treats sessions as a place to try things, notice what helps, and adjust as needed. She favors simple tools and homework you can use in daily life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Michigan and has eight years of professional experience. Carrie has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting stress, bipolar-related concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

People who want a practical, empathic approach will find clear steps and options in her work. She encourages clients to set the pace and to focus on goals that matter to them. If you want to explore codependency patterns or regain balance, sessions are built around your priorities and values.

How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going and then try different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing patterns that affect daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small actions toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone wants to live more in line with what matters despite hard emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help when relational patterns and codependency repeat over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted based on what helps most in practice.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is not helpful. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and homework to work well between sessions so progress can continue outside meeting times.
