About Carrie
Carrie Collier, LPC helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and on improving self-esteem and everyday functioning. Carrie works with people who struggle with trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and related issues.
Carrie takes a collaborative, client-centered approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and offers guidance and tools rather than one-size-fits-all fixes. Sessions aim to clarify goals, build coping skills, and practice small changes that fit daily life.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and a Michigan LPC credential. She draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and acceptance-based practices. Attachment-focused ideas also shape how she approaches close relationship struggles.
In a typical session Carrie helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and track progress between visits. She uses everyday language and step-by-step strategies so new skills are easier to use outside therapy. Her work also addresses co-occurring problems like substance use, grief, and complicated mood or personality concerns.
People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Carrie practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and trouble coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and some relationship or coping concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people build more secure ways of relating when intimacy or trust is difficult.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods make sense based on goals and preferences. That process may mean trying different tools and tracking what helps over time so the plan can shift as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full visit is not possible. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and to use worksheets or exercises together in real time. Licensed professionals can guide people through skill-building, behavioral experiments, and values-based work even when sessions are remote, while tailoring the pace to each person's needs.
