About Carrie
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with five years of clinical experience, Carrie Sullivan helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses feelings of guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Carrie begins by listening to what matters most to each person and builds on their strengths.
Carrie uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She works from client-centered principles that follow each person’s lead. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions. Sessions focus on skills people can use between visits.
In a typical meeting she asks clear questions, reflects what she hears, and offers simple, evidence-based tools to try. Goals are set collaboratively and revisited as life changes. The work is often hands-on rather than purely conversational.
Her approach suits people who want concrete strategies and steady support while sorting through difficult experiences. Carrie frames clients as the experts on their own lives and treats clinical methods as tools people can choose from.
To start, she asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The intake helps identify priorities and decide which methods to use going forward.

How Carrie applies therapy methods online
Client-Centered Therapy starts by following the person’s lead and prioritizing what they want to work on. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening carefully, reflecting concerns back, and shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice smaller behavior changes between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for regulating intense emotions and managing distress. When used online, DBT skills are practiced in-session and assigned as short exercises to try during the week.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will help clients decide which methods fit best based on symptoms, goals, and personal preference. That choice is made collaboratively and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Remote work also lets people try skill practice in the context of daily life and bring those experiences back to therapy for review.
