About Carrie

Carrie Ryberg is an LCPC practicing in Illinois with 14 years of clinical experience helping people navigate major life stressors and emotional challenges. She draws on a range of therapeutic tools to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work integrates practical coping strategies with attention to meaning, resilience, and personal strengths. Carrie approaches therapy with a focus on hope and empowerment, guiding clients through transitions like divorce, loss, and other significant changes.

She uses evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, trauma-focused work, mindfulness, and solution-focused interventions to tailor treatment to each person's goals. Clients can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes manageable steps, symptom relief, and long-term coping skills.

Carrie values helping people find greater balance and enrichment as they move through challenging periods.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

CBT helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety, depression, or other difficult symptoms; work typically involves practical exercises and skill-building that translate well to remote sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated reactions; when appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted for video or phone work with careful pacing and collaboration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carrie will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She tailors interventions based on what proves most helpful, and adjusts pace and techniques through ongoing discussion and shared decision-making.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints, and clients can access care via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice skills between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
