Carrie Collier, LPC

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, and major life changes. Her tone is compassionate and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer footing during hard times.

Carrie uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on small, usable steps. Sessions emphasize skill-building, clearer thinking, and emotional regulation rather than long lectures or labels.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form healthier ways of relating.

Clients can expect practical strategies alongside a supportive space to talk things through. Carrie aims to help people reduce overwhelm, manage symptoms, and make decisions that fit their values. She tailors techniques to each person’s goals and pace.

With eight years of professional experience, Carrie brings steady clinical practice and everyday language to sessions. She sees work on issues like abandonment, codependency, control struggles, and co-occurring concerns through a lens of realistic steps and ongoing support.

Approaches that translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It often involves setting small experiments between sessions to build different habits and relieve anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy gives concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and communicating more effectively. These tools can be practiced step by step and reviewed in sessions to build stability.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify values and commit to actions that matter to them, even when feelings are uncomfortable. It blends mindfulness with practical goal-setting to help with life changes and ongoing struggles.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try techniques in a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to discover which methods fit a person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and let people keep momentum between appointments. It also allows therapists to work with tools like worksheets, behavioral experiments, and skills practice in ways that fit everyday routines.
