Carrie Collier, LPC

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes, grief, addiction, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Carrie aims to make therapy clear and approachable for worried parents reading on a phone.

Carrie works in a collaborative, client-centered way. She treats each person as the expert on their life and offers guidance rather than prescriptions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on skills you can use between meetings.

Her approach uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based work. That means she helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect mood, clarify personal values, and repair close relationships. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and emotion-focused ideas when those fit a person's needs.

Carrie has eight years of counseling experience in Michigan. She brings a calm, practical style and aims to build resilience rather than quick fixes. Many clients come with mixed issues such as mood problems, substance concerns, or attachment wounds, and she blends methods to match each situation.

Therapy sessions are practical and paced to the client's goals. Expect clear explanations, short-term skill building, and steady support for longer-term change. Carrie helps people set realistic steps and measure progress as they work toward greater balance.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes and teaches practical exercises to try between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, called ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values. ACT uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies and can help with stress, grief, and persistent worries.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. It can help people improve closeness, manage trust issues, and repair attachment wounds in adult relationships.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and when to shift focus.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients use shorter, frequent check-ins and keep therapy moving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy family schedules and changing routines.
