About Carrie
Carrie Catterson-Fitzmaurice is a Kansas licensed clinical social worker with the LSCSW and LCSW credentials and 14 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. She also addresses issues related to parenting, family conflict, ADHD, and relationship struggles.
Her background includes home-based work with children and families around substance use, parenting challenges, organization, and ADHD. She has also worked with older adults on adjustment to loss of independence, depression, and anxiety. That hands-on experience informs how she structures sessions and sets practical goals.
Carrie uses a mix of solution-focused ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy to keep sessions practical. She encourages straightforward talk, humor, and honest reflection. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes and on clearer communication when resentment or anger builds.
She brings a respectful, nonjudgmental manner to meetings and asks direct questions to help people notice patterns. Clients set goals and track progress in simple steps rather than vague promises. The work is goal-oriented and focused on skills that can be tried between sessions.
For someone whose temper shows up at work, at home, or during life transitions, she helps identify triggers, practice alternative responses, and build routines that reduce buildup. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered so they match your needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small practical changes. It asks what will look different when a problem eases and builds short steps toward that result. This can help with quick shifts in behaviors around anger and daily routines.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. CBT techniques are useful for managing worry, reactivity, and mood changes that feed anger.
Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is mixed or change feels hard. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. That approach pairs well with goal-focused work on habits and substance concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That means trying practical tools and checking whether they fit, then shifting emphasis if needed.
Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work day or a busy household, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter focused check-ins when needed. Talk with her about how you want sessions to fit into your routine so they support steady progress.
