About Carrie

LMFT in California with seven years of clinical experience, Carrie Canine focuses on mood disorders, anxiety, and life transitions using Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She helps people examine the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of their goals and works with them to build clearer self-direction and daily skills.

Carrie frames sessions around practical steps. She looks for patterns like self-sabotage and low self-esteem and helps clients update how they see themselves. That work often begins with small behavioral shifts and homework that connects to a person’s values and life purpose.

She uses CBT tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking. DBT strategies are used for emotion regulation and managing intense moments. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how relationships shape expectations and responses to stress.

Technology can play a supporting role in her practice. She has used mobile apps for mood tracking, sleep and activity logs, and stress management reminders to reinforce skills between sessions. These tools are presented as adjuncts rather than replacements for talk work.

Carrie also addresses career questions, compassion fatigue, and relationship concerns by combining skills training with reflective work about goals and meaning. Sessions aim to increase practical coping skills and strengthen a clearer sense of purpose.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Session plans are shaped by what each person needs and the goals they bring to therapy.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and the actions they lead to. In sessions that use CBT, clients often practice small experiments and complete brief exercises between meetings to test new ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills for intense moments. DBT-style work emphasizes grounding techniques, distress tolerance, and building routines that reduce reactivity.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and expectations. This approach is used to improve communication habits and reduce repeated cycles of mistrust or withdrawal.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to prioritize. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust the plan together as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like mood tracking between appointments to reinforce skills.
