01About Carrie
Carrie Collier is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, and major life changes. Carrie brings a calm, straightforward approach aimed at practical change.
Her sessions are collaborative and client-centered. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them set goals they can actually use.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on understanding what matters to the client and working toward small, doable steps. Carrie draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people clarify values and take action in line with what matters to them. Her work also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that affect how people relate to others. That perspective helps when addressing intimacy issues, codependency, blended family concerns, or trouble trusting after loss or trauma.
Practical strategies and clear feedback are part of each session. With eight years of experience as an LPC, Carrie aims to make therapy understandable and usable. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
English-language services are provided to people located in Michigan.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed action toward those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by teaching acceptance of difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier habits for mood, anxiety, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, or a mix of strategies fits best.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual connection helps. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to do shorter check-ins, handle quick skills practice, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule with everyday life.
