About Carrie
Carrie Sullivan is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of experience. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. She also focuses on issues of guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Carrie treats people as the experts on their own lives. She helps clients notice their strengths and use those strengths to face hard moments. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and gentle reflection.
Her approach draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in the client's goals. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense feelings. These methods are explained in simple terms during sessions so clients know what to try between meetings.
She aims to help people make small, real changes that fit into daily life. That might mean trying a new coping skill, testing a different way of thinking, or planning a manageable next step. Progress is framed as learning and practice rather than a one-time fix.
To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session. The early appointments focus on practical concerns and clear next steps, so callers leave with something to work on right away.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this style center the conversation on what the client wants to address and name clear goals together.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and choosing experiments or homework to test new ways of thinking between meetings.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping. When used online, DBT tools can be introduced, practiced during the session, and then applied in day-to-day life with follow-up the next time the client meets the therapist.
Finding the best way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That plan can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let clients try skills in real time and bring what comes up directly into the conversation.
