About Carrie

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based methods to offer practical strategies for coping with life changes, grief, addictive behaviors, parenting stresses, anger, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. With an emphasis on compassion and collaboration, she works to create a therapeutic plan aligned with each client's goals and strengths.

Carrie centers her work in client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives while integrating cognitive and behavioral tools. This blend supports clients in building resilience, improving emotional regulation, and navigating patterns tied to abandonment, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and blended family dynamics.

She brings eight years of professional experience to her practice and frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s values and preferences guide decision making. Sessions aim to be practical and growth-oriented, offering skills clients can apply between appointments to enhance daily functioning and relationships.

Approaches That Inform Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters, while teaching ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonding experiences to improve emotional connection and relational responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carrie uses a collaborative stance to determine which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. She blends approaches as needed, inviting clients to shape treatment priorities and to try different strategies until they find what helps them move forward.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular support into a busy life. These options can increase accessibility and allow work on skills and coping tools in the context of day-to-day routines, while preserving the collaborative, evidence-informed framework Carrie brings to her practice.
