More about Carri
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I am a Licensed Clinical and Macro-Level Social Worker with a School Social Work certification. I have over 20 years of experience working as a school social worker and therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, with a special focus on educational disabilities, cognitive processing issues, trauma and loss, and ADHD. I am very interested in the mind-body connection and the importance of developing autonomy, self-esteem, and healthy coping skills in order to live a healthy lifestyle.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I consider the client/therapist relationship to be the most important thing in counseling. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines trauma-focused, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing counseling styles. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I believe that everyone would benefit from engaging in the therapeutic process at one point or another in their life to support our navigation through the ever-changing and complex landscape of being a human in your own environment. I believe our interconnection to the people, systems, and communities that we interact with is similar to throwing a pebble into a pond, with tiny ripple effects all around us. We can't control the way other people act and feel but we do have the ability to identify and reflect upon what we have control over and develop concrete action plans to support better mental health.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Carri is absolutely amazing. I look forward to our sessions together.
Very good advice regularly and always good at making me feel comfortable to let out my thoughts and feelings.
Carrie has helped me tremendously. She developed strong foundational ideas and concrete steps with me to get me from where I was to where I wanted to be. She manages to be empathetic, personal, and professional in the same beat, and this forms a comfortable and safe atmosphere in which to express myself. Highly recommend.
I am 56 years old and have seen many therapists over my life. Carri is the best and most effective by far. She listens and goes out of her way to provide me with relevant resources for problem-solving to improve my quality of life. She also recognized behaviors that led me to a diagnosis that has been missed for years. I am now on the correct medication and feeling better than I have in 20 years. She has my highest recommendation!
Carri is patient and professional. She helps me bring abstract and/or painful feelings into a practical and believable step. Her process has allowed me to believe more in myself making things better.
