About Carrie
Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with over two decades of experience supporting adults. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that helps people name what feels off and take the next small steps. Her tone in sessions is practical and hopeful.
Carrie draws on client-centered methods that put the person's priorities first. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques are added when people need skills for intense emotions or past events. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of the Southwest. That training, plus many years of practice, shaped how she coaches adults through common struggles like stress and anxiety.
She also supports people managing depression, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Parents often seek her help for parenting challenges and for the overwhelm that comes with caregiving responsibilities. She assists individuals working on attachment and family-of-origin issues, body image concerns, and codependency.
Problems such as anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and bipolar mood concerns are also within her focus. Sessions aim to build a plan driven by the client's goals. Carrie blends practical skill-building, motivational interviewing to find internal drive, and trauma-aware care when needed.
Her approach centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes. She practices from Utah and communicates in English. Her long experience is applied to straightforward, usable strategies that parents and adults can try between sessions.

Approach-driven care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspectives. It asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps clients clarify values and make choices that fit their life. This approach is useful when someone wants a respectful, collaborative space to solve parenting and life challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete skills to test and change patterns that keep stress, anxiety, or depression going. CBT is helpful for practical symptom relief and for building routines that support daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Carrie works together with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect that fit busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit shorter time windows. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting, work, and other commitments.
