About Carrie
Carrie Leafblad is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She focuses on common concerns people bring to therapy, such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Carrie also works with parenting stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and coping with life changes.
Her style centers on listening closely and responding to what each person needs in the moment. She uses client-centered work to help people name their priorities and develop practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to uncover patterns that keep problems going and to try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Carrie often supports people dealing with caregiving strain, body image concerns, and issues that can follow trauma. She also addresses questions around ADHD, anger, bipolar symptoms, and grief reactions. Additional focus areas include communication problems, abandonment, dissociation, and eating and food-related issues.
Sessions are intended to help a person clarify goals, build coping skills, and rehearse changes outside of sessions. EMDR is listed among her approaches and may be used for trauma-related work when appropriate. The therapist speaks English and practices in Texas.
To begin, the typical route is to use the platform’s matching and scheduling flow. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain daily problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills can help when strong emotions get in the way of relationships or parenting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping a person set their priorities and pace for change.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to set goals and decide which methods to use over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online session types are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and DBT or CBT practice to suit a person's schedule and daily routines.
