About Carrie
LSCSW, LCSW in Kansas with 14 years of experience, Carrie Catterson-Fitzmaurice focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns. Carrie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. She speaks English and practices in Kansas.
Carrie draws on 14 years of practice as a licensed clinical social worker. She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She encourages honesty and uses approachable language so people can say what they need to say without jargon.
Her background includes in-home work with children and families on substance use, parenting challenges, organization, ADHD, and relationship strain. She has also worked with older adults on adjustment, loss of independence, depression, and anxiety. That mix of settings informs practical ways to handle day-to-day problems.
In session she blends solution-focused techniques with cognitive behavioral methods. That means she helps people identify small, doable changes and then challenges unhelpful thoughts that get in the way. Motivational Interviewing is used when ambivalence is part of the problem, such as with addictive behaviors.
People who prefer direct, goal-focused work often find this approach useful. Sessions move toward clear steps and measurable goals. Carrie also attends to communication patterns, feelings of emptiness, life-purpose questions, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm concerns when those come up.

How Carrie’s methods translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations. Online sessions can use that method to set practical homework, track small changes, and review progress between meetings.Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on immediate, achievable goals and the steps to reach them. In remote sessions this often looks like short-term planning, clear action items, and quick reviews of what worked since the last appointment.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels mixed about change. In video or phone meetings the therapist listens for readiness, reflects back concerns, and helps build motivation without pressure.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carrie will work with a client to decide which mix of CBT, solution-focused tools, or motivational interviewing fits best based on goals and preferences. That choice may shift as therapy progresses and as different issues come up.
Confirm the supported session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use therapy during a break or between responsibilities.
