About Carrie

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Her work is practical and grounded. Sessions focus on clear tools people can try between meetings.

Carrie uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and offers guidance rather than directives. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with manageable steps that fit daily life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Dialectical behavior strategies support emotion regulation and pacing during heated moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people clarify values and choose actions that align with those values even when emotions run high.

Her approach also attends to attachment and relationship dynamics. That can look like mapping interaction patterns or learning new ways to ask for needs. For people dealing with grief, addiction, or parenting strain, sessions emphasize coping skills and small behavioral changes.

Carrie keeps language straightforward and avoids jargon. She will work with a person to set realistic goals and track progress. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so therapy can start with a clear plan.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions can help

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot thought patterns that escalate anger and practice different responses that reduce emotional intensity.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and handling conflict. These skills include distress tolerance and mindful decision-making for moments when anger feels overwhelming.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult emotions are present. It can help when someone wants to act differently despite ongoing frustration.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carrie will work collaboratively to identify what fits a person's goals, preferences, and situation. That may mean combining skills practice, cognitive work, and attention to relationship patterns.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often tailor session pacing so exercises and skills can be practiced in everyday life rather than only in appointments.
