About Carrie

Carrie Catterson-Fitzmaurice is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kansas with 14 years of professional experience. She blends practical, goal-oriented strategies with respectful, down-to-earth rapport to help clients navigate a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her clinical work emphasizes straightforward problem solving alongside skills-building to improve daily functioning and relationships. Carrie favors approaches that promote immediate, usable change while also addressing longer-term patterns.

She creates a relaxed therapeutic atmosphere where honesty and occasional humor are welcome, and she encourages clients to increase self-awareness and pursue clear goals. With training as an LSCSW and LCSW (KS LSCSW 05608, CA LCSW 122499), she offers practical interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Carrie integrates evidence-based methods to help clients address immediate problems and build lasting skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on enhancing a person’s own motivation to make changes and is especially useful when addressing ambivalence around habits or substance use.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adapt techniques so that interventions fit personal preferences and life circumstances. This means methods can be adjusted over time as goals shift or new challenges emerge.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in structured CBT work, motivational conversations, or brief solution-focused check-ins from locations that suit them, making it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside daily responsibilities.
