About Carrie
Carrie Sullivan is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes, including concerns about guilt, shame, isolation, and life purpose.
Carrie approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside listening and reflection so people can better manage difficult feelings and confusing transitions.
She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect moods, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships with oneself and others. These methods are used in plain language and with concrete exercises people can try between sessions.
Carrie aims to help people talk through what matters now, reduce overwhelming reactions, and find small ways to move forward after a change in work, relationship, or health. She encourages honest conversation about doubt, regret, and what to do next, while helping people test out new behaviors and ways of thinking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. Online sessions still center on the person’s story, with the therapist asking clarifying questions and reflecting back observations to help people find their own next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. In online work this often means doing thought records, behavior experiments, and brief between-session exercises to test new patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy adds clear skills for handling intense emotions, such as grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques that can be practiced during or between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will discuss what seems most useful, try methods in-session, and adjust based on the person’s goals and preferences so therapy fits the problem at hand.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or family commitments around appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while testing new skills in everyday life.
