She also helps people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Dr. Bass-Carrigan blends strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful, plus motivational techniques to support change. In the therapy room she asks clients to take an active role.

That means identifying specific goals and trying clear, manageable skills between sessions. She frames thoughts and feelings as things that can shift, and works on small steps to refill what she calls an empty cup. Practical coping tools and straightforward talk are common parts of her work.

Sessions use techniques that teach how to notice unhelpful thought patterns, regulate strong emotions, and build healthier habits. She brings career counseling experience alongside mental health care, which can help when work stress affects family life. The tone is direct and supportive, aimed at people who want concrete changes.

Dr. Bass-Carrigan offers therapy in English and practices in Arkansas. Her credential is AR LPC P2102154.

She uses a collaborative style to tailor approaches to each person’s needs.

How specific approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. In practice the therapist reflects what is said, asks about goals, and supports the client in choosing the next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort through parenting stress or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include setting small goals, tracking patterns, and practicing new ways of thinking between meetings. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or family life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person's needs and preferences, and adjust plans as goals change. That collaborative decision-making helps shape each online plan so it feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue care during life transitions. The range of formats supports different comfort levels and practical needs, with flexibility for follow-up and brief check-ins as well as full conversations.

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.

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.
