Carrie Fraser, LMFT

Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self‑esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues including guilt and shame.

Carrie uses a collaborative, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on clear communication about feelings, needs, and difficult decisions. She draws on practical methods to address substance use and codependency, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and problems that affect close relationships.

Her approach mixes several therapy methods to suit each person's situation. She commonly uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift patterns, and motivational interviewing when change feels hard to start. Narrative and solution-focused tools are used to make sense of life events and identify small, actionable steps.

Carrie has long experience with grief, life transitions, and spiritual concerns alongside clinical work. That background informs how she talks about loss, abandonment, caregiver stress, and the emotional strain of serious illness or aging. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with attention to what a person wants to change.

People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, better ways to manage anger or urges, or relief from ongoing shame or self‑criticism. Carrie supports clients in sorting out those problems and planning next steps. To begin, she asks a few questions and sets collaborative goals for therapy.
