About Carrie

Carrie Melton, LMSW, brings 12 years of clinical experience to her Michigan practice, using evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She emphasizes empowerment and collaborative problem solving, drawing on therapies that promote skill building, emotional regulation, and values-based decision making.

Background and approach

Carrie creates a welcoming environment for diverse identities and focuses on helping clients develop concrete strategies for coping, communication, and personal growth. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse recovery, grief, intimacy-related challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other areas.

Carrie integrates mindfulness and acceptance-based practices alongside cognitive and behavioral tools to support resilience and clearer decision making. She aims to meet clients where they are, honoring individual pacing while promoting practical steps toward wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful life goals, which can help with coping, life transitions, and motivation. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, supporting emotion regulation and reduced reactivity in the face of stress.

The right approach is often discovered through collaboration rather than assumption. Carrie works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful, adjusting techniques based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied life circumstances. Clients may choose video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions for convenience, or live chat and text-based messaging for more frequent check-ins and reflective work between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent care while fitting therapy into daily life.
