Carrie Collier

Carrie Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage anxiety, anger, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps someone can use between sessions. Carrie aims to make therapy feel doable when life feels overwhelming.

She takes a client-centered, collaborative approach. That means she listens first, then helps people set goals that matter to them. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and chances to talk through painful moments without judgment.

Carrie uses a mix of methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-based ideas. Those approaches offer tools for changing unhelpful thinking, tolerating strong emotions, and improving how people connect with others. She pairs these methods with straightforward guidance and mindfulness exercises when useful.

Her work also addresses addiction, grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. Carrie pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and behavior. She helps people build routines and coping strategies that fit real life.

With eight years of counseling experience, Carrie focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, better emotion regulation, and more stable relationships. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills practice because it gives concrete exercises and homework. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and closeness with others; it can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals evolve and new challenges come up.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. They also let people use tools like worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and behavioral assignments between sessions to support steady progress.
