Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Carrie Fraser
Carrie draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting relationship in which the therapist listens without judgment and helps clients explore their feelings and values - it is helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and navigating life changes.CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching strategies for problem solving and behavior change. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation to make changes, which is often useful for substance use, recovery, and commitment-related goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carrie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the challenges they face, adjusting as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible care and maintain continuity as clients work toward meaningful change.
