In this approach Carrie helps clients explore attachment dynamics and build more secure, adaptive ways of relating, which can support healing from adoption, foster care, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist follows the client's lead. Carrie uses this approach to create space for clients to reflect, find their own strengths, and set goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
