More about Carri
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT, LPCC, LPC
As a licensed therapist in California and Oregon, I specialize in supporting individuals navigate life challenges. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion as they improve their abilities to successfully express themselves and and engage, versus fear, in the process of change and transformation.
I have extensive experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. My practice focuses on empowering individuals to overcome interpersonal difficulties, co-dependence and perfectionism while exploring what gives them their sense of purpose.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, designed to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies and enjoy some laughter along the way. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, and individuals struggling with workplace and relationship stress, family dynamics, and personal growth.
By combining evidence-based techniques with a deeply empathetic approach, I help clients reconnect with their inner strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and create meaningful change in their lives.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
