About Carrie

Carrie Robinson is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other areas. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy simple and practical. She emphasizes skills people can use right away to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Carrie draws on approaches that help with coping, communication, and finding direction. Carrie earned a master’s degree that combined Movement Therapy and Counseling. She values the body and movement as part of emotional healing and brings that perspective into sessions when it fits.

Background and approach

Her clinical training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she uses for skill building around stress and strong emotions. Her style is goal oriented but flexible. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small steps that lead to change.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy ideas to help with staying present and reducing worry. With nine years of experience, Carrie offers both short-term problem work and longer-term support. She frames therapy as a partnership and works with each person to choose useful tools.

Sessions are offered from Connecticut and delivered in English. Carrie works with people facing a range of challenges, including self-esteem, grief, ADHD, relationship concerns, and mood disorders. She aims to help clients build practical skills, improve communication, and regain a sense of purpose.

How these approaches translate to online work

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Online sessions can include practicing those skills aloud, reviewing worksheets together, and setting small homework tasks to try between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices to lower stress and quiet repetitive thinking. In remote sessions a therapist can guide short breathing or grounding exercises and help clients bring mindful attention into daily routines.

Many clients try Solution-Focused Therapy when they want quick, practical steps. This approach identifies one or two achievable goals and tests small changes that move things forward. It fits well with online formats because progress can be checked in brief follow-ups.

Carrie treats choosing the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods collaboratively, and adjust plans based on what helps the client most.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, work, and travel. It also allows short check-ins between full sessions, which can help keep momentum while working on communication, stress, or parenting-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
