About Carrie

Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 23 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She works in Utah and offers a calm, respectful approach when people come with worries about anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, or major life transitions. Carrie emphasizes listening first and tailoring plans to each person’s needs.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of the Southwest. Carrie has worked with a wide range of adults and draws on many clinical tools to address problems like traumatic stress, relationship strain, and mood challenges. She uses methods that focus on practical change and coping skills.

In sessions she combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. That means she helps people name what matters most, then practices new ways of thinking and behaving that fit daily life. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are used when helpful to build steady progress.

Carrie pays attention to issues often linked together, such as attachment and family of origin concerns, codependency, and co-morbid conditions. She also addresses specialized areas like chronic pain and caregiver stress without assuming a single path forward. Each plan is driven by the person in therapy.

People who reach out can expect straightforward, compassionate support aimed at clearer goals and workable steps. Carrie emphasizes small, consistent changes that add up over time and helps clients track what is and isn’t working.

How these approaches translate to online counseling

Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities. In practice this looks like sessions that begin by asking what matters most, then shaping goals and steps together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns like avoidance or unhelpful routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices for staying present and managing strong emotions, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process may involve trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what works in real life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows consistent continuity of care when life is changing, while still focusing on practical exercises, homework, and steady progress.
