Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where moving toward a chosen life matters more than eliminating every uncomfortable emotion.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns that develop early in life and affect current connections. This approach can be especially helpful for adoption-related concerns, attachment issues, and relationship or family struggles by strengthening emotional bonds and improving communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties. It offers practical skills for coping, problem solving, and reducing distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carrie works with clients and licensed professionals to explore which methods best match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, engage from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when life changes arise, while working with a therapist who uses evidence-based methods.
