About Carrie
Carrie Fraser is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She centers therapy on the relationship between therapist and client and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns.
Carrie believes counseling is a collaborative process. She listens without judgment and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions emphasize clear communication and practical steps that fit into day-to-day life.
Her background includes work in mental health, addiction recovery, crisis management, life transitions, and spiritual direction. That mix informs a flexible approach to care. She draws on techniques that help with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and with problems like codependency, anger, and low self-esteem.
Carrie also supports people facing caregiving stress, cancer-related challenges, blended family issues, and substance use concerns. She helps clients address intimacy-related problems, communication difficulties, and the emotional fallout from separation and loss.
Sessions aim to help people take manageable steps toward goals. Carrie uses methods that encourage self-awareness, reflection, and actionable change. She works to create a respectful, empathetic space so people can explore what they want next and how to get there.
Approach and online therapy that adapts to your needs
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people can find their own answers and move toward goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change; it uses gentle questions to build motivation and plan next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best. She reviews goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make talking about sensitive topics possible from wherever a person is located, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and progress.
