About Carrie
Carrie Zanoni is a licensed professional counselor who uses a client-centered approach to support people through life’s ups and downs. She focuses on practical steps and clear conversation so parents and caregivers can make sense of stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and many other everyday challenges.
Her style is steady and straightforward, aimed at helping people find routines and choices that work for them. Carrie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
She combines those tools with acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build small, doable actions. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings. With 16 years of experience, Carrie brings a calm, consistent presence to the room.
She listens first and helps set goals together. People can expect a collaborative pace, where the therapist follows the person’s lead while offering evidence-based options. Carrie works with issues such as parenting and family stress, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and low self-esteem.
She also addresses more specific challenges like caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness, and communication problems. She is licensed in Michigan as an LPC, license number MI LPC 6401012049. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Carrie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and habits. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, which can be useful for stress, grief, and managing difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Carrie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which strategies to try first. Over time they can adjust the plan based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy families. This variety lets people pick what fits their life on a given day - a focused video visit, a quick chat check-in, a phone conversation, or text-based work between meetings. The aim is to make ongoing support more accessible and easier to keep up with while using the chosen therapeutic methods.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
