About Carrie

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday strains that often show up at home, including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and substance issues. Carrie works with adults who are managing life changes, grief, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and problems around intimacy and self-esteem.

Carrie uses straightforward, collaborative sessions. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and offers practical tools they can try between meetings. Sessions combine talking through immediate concerns with skills practice drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and emotion work.

Her background includes client-centered methods and acceptance-based approaches. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment-focused perspectives to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. That mix is aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.

Clients can expect a focus on concrete coping strategies. Carrie introduces simple exercises for handling anxiety, managing mood shifts, and responding differently in stressful family situations. She also works on boundaries, decision-making, and relapse prevention for substance issues when relevant.

Her practice emphasizes steady progress over time. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes might make life at home less overwhelming. People leave with clear steps to try between sessions and time to reflect on what works for them.

How sessions work

How Carrie uses evidence-based approaches online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps by breaking problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying values to guide actions; it can help with motivation, avoidance, and coping with hard emotions.

Carrie treats approach selection as a shared process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as work continues so techniques can be adjusted based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. The focus is on practical support you can use at home and between sessions, such as behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and values-based planning.
