Carrie Zanoni, LPC

Carrie Zanoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies. She uses a client-centered stance and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make changes that matter. Carrie aims to be a calm, steady presence during stressful times.

Her sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She partners with clients to set clear, small goals. Then she teaches skills and ways of thinking that can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

Carrie has 16 years of experience supporting people through grief, depression, and life transitions. She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting stress, addiction-related issues, trauma and abuse, and challenges like sleep problems or anger. Her focus includes a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and caregiver stress.

She blends cognitive behavioral work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide her when relationship patterns and attachment show up. This mix lets her adapt to what each person needs.

In sessions she keeps language direct and practical. People can expect clear strategies to try between meetings and chances to talk about what is and isn’t working. Carrie supports gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Carrie works with adults to address stress, self-esteem, career concerns, and a broad set of emotional and behavioral challenges.

How CBT and ACT Translate to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include skill practice, worksheets, and short between-session experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and commit to actions that match their values. In remote sessions ACT exercises can include short mindfulness practices and values-based goal setting to guide daily choices.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Carrie will listen to goals and try methods that fit each person's needs, adjusting plans if something isn’t helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
