About Carrie

Carrie Hillebrandt is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) and a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) in Nebraska with 16 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, and anger. Carrie also supports clients facing life changes, career questions, attentional challenges, and mood differences such as bipolar disorder.

Carrie draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods in her work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness techniques to help people notice what matters, respond differently to urges, and take values-guided steps. Attachment-based ideas guide how she talks about relationship patterns and caregiving dynamics.

Sessions tend to begin with building rapport and identifying clear goals. She checks practical patterns like thinking, avoidance, and behavior, then works on small, doable changes that reduce reactivity and improve communication. For parenting and adoption-related concerns she brings experience across residential and private-practice settings to conversations about attachment and family roles.

Carrie keeps up professional development and reads current literature to shape her approach. She also provides supervision and group consultation to other clinicians. Her style emphasizes patience, respect, and nonjudgment while working toward concrete changes.

People often seek her help for anger that shows up as snapping at loved ones, work frustration, or bottled-up resentment. She helps clients identify the triggers, practice skills in the moment, and choose actions that fit their values.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values; this can reduce reactive anger and clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills for interrupting unhelpful patterns like rumination or outbursts. Mindfulness therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carrie collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that fit those goals and preferences. She checks what helps and adjusts methods over time so sessions stay focused and useful.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. It also lets people practice skills where challenges happen, like at home or during a break at work, so techniques can be applied to real situations.
