About Carrie

Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who draws on over two decades of clinical experience. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and parenting concerns. Clients often find her approach steady and practical when life feels overwhelming.

Carrie earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her credentials include LPCC and LCMHC licensure in Utah and New Mexico, which are listed as NM LPCC CCMH0093661 and UT LCMHC 12314765-6004.

Background and approach

Her work combines client-centered care with evidence-based tools. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build new, doable habits. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods are added when they fit the situation.

Sessions emphasize simple, concrete steps. She helps people talk through grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Caregiver stress, body image, and substance use are also common topics.

Carrie focuses on creating plans driven by each person’s goals. She offers encouragement and practical strategies rather than quick fixes. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer day-to-day coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy starts with the person’s priorities and builds the conversation around what matters most. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients decide what changes they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful actions and behaviors. That approach is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday coping skills. Mindfulness therapy helps people learn moment-to-moment awareness and calming practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust plans when needed. This shared planning helps make online sessions feel purposeful and tailored to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. They also allow clients to use the therapeutic tools discussed in real time and practice new skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
