Welcome! Transformation is possible. You can choose to step into a fully connected, authentic, and joyful life. It's time to start living the life that's waiting for you. I've experienced profound transformations myself and I'm here to guide you to the life that you desire. Maybe you're just not feeling happy. Or maybe you feel stuck in a never-ending loop. It seems like you're barely doing anything for yourself anymore. You know something has to change and there has to be a better way. I'm glad you're here! I'm Carrie, and I'm ready to help! I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for 15 years in Virginia and I love to help people shift. I use a therapeutic approach to promote healing and growth. My style is collaborative and strengths-based, aimed at helping you honor yourself and find your own path forward. I use proven strategies to help you overcome life's challenges and start living a life that's full of peace and joy. I'm happy to help and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, career stress, and relationship challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we'll be getting to know each other. It's important to me to create a comfortable, safe, and judgment-free place for you to express yourself. I treat each client with respect, dignity, and compassion. Therapy works through mutual relationship and trust so I'm happy to answer questions you have about me, my clinical approach, and about our process together. I want you to know that I appreciate and accept you just as you are. Therapists call it "unconditional positive regard." I also believe a fitting term is "universal love" from one soul to another. After all, we're all humans on our journeys. As we build an authentic relationship, I want you to feel valued, honored, and respected. Part of that means that we will go at your pace. If you feel comfortable jumping right in and are ready to make some big shifts, then let's go! And if it feels better to take some time to explore slowly, that's great too! This time is dedicated to you and I'm here to listen to whatever you'd like to share. I'm interested in your individual story and your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, needs, and desires. From there, we can start some collaborative goal setting for how you'd like your life to look and feel in the next 30 days, 6 months, and year. Together, we'll create a personalized plan to move you closer to the life that you envision.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is that I truly believe in you and your power to live your own vision. I know that you have the ability to make choices, take chances, and create life on your terms. I started LifeVision Counseling, LLC to support you in making the shift. I have the confidence that you can start feeling great and move into embodying the most authentic version of you. It's where you'll find peace, and joy, and love. It's my goal with every session to leave you feeling more empowered, strengthened, and ready to take on anything. Book your first session and let's get started!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is often considered the gold standard of therapy. It has been highly researched and shown to be an evidence-based treatment to improve functioning and the quality of your life. Using CBT, first, we'll aim to get you feeling better as quickly as possible by teaching you practical tools you can use to get more in charge of how you feel throughout the day. Then, we'll dive deeper to the root of the problem so that the need for it to resurface is eliminated. We'll do this by exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and actions work together. You'll be able to examine your automatic thoughts that come from the programmed beliefs and perceptions that you've picked up along the way and internalized over time. After taking a look, you can decide if these thoughts and beliefs are helpful or if they even serve you any longer. Finally, we shift what hasn't been working for you so that you can better understand the past, get back to enjoying the present, and start crafting the future you want.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The person-centered treatment method starts with the foundation that you are a whole and capable person. Really, you're the expert on yourself. You have ability to decide what's right for you and make the changes you desire. Sometimes it just takes additional self-exploration to get to the clarity of what feels best for you and the steps that you would like to take next. Person-centered therapy allows me to help you unlock your own self-discovery, self-love, healing, and growth. My role in the journey is as a partner who can help you learn to trust yourself, lean into your own intuition, and run everything through your own filter to see what feels right to you.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused Brief Treatment is designed to help you shift from spending energy and time focusing on the problem to focusing on the solution. My job is to remind you that you've successfully handled many challenges in your past and that you are able to do that again in the present. This approach asks you to feel your feelings, but to not get stuck in them any longer than needed. Focusing on what's going well, what is improving, and how to take more steps to get to the outcome you want is the highlight of this method.
