Therapy is a work of my heart. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and consider it a privilege for individuals to share their stories, often including their pain as well. I value individuals who take the courageous step of coming to therapy for the first time or starting anew with me. I am curious by nature and provide space for people to share their stories; I may also ask questions to delve a little deeper. I value humor in the healing process. When it's appropriate, I may say something to lighten the mood, as therapy can be difficult at times. My faith shapes my life and gives me hope, and I hold hope for every person I meet as I believe they are valuable, resilient, and capable of change.

Starting therapy is a brave step, and I want you to feel seen, supported, and respected as you take it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee, I offer both in-person and telehealth services for adults who are navigating life’s challenges and transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in proven methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches help clients notice and work through unhelpful thoughts and emotions, while also clarifying what truly matters most to them. I believe lasting change happens when we align decisions and behaviors with our values, even when life feels heavy or uncertain. I often work with women’s issues, grief, anxiety, and the unique dynamics of blended families. Whether you’re adjusting to a new season of life, carrying the weight of loss, or feeling stuck in old patterns, my goal is to help you discover tools, insights, and courage to move forward.

I have approximately 30 years of experience in virtually all clinical settings. I began my career working in a juvenile penitentiary (referred to as a 'youth development center) and after almost 6 years, left that setting and moved on to new opportunities. Along the way, I worked with group homes, foster homes, substance abuse treatment programs, and even provided treatment in a sexual offender treatment program. In 2004 I went solely into private practice and currently operate two offices. I also provided on-site services to businesses that suffer a death or other disruptive event; I have provided over 170 of these services in four states during the last several years. While you don't need any faith to see me, I also offer Christian Counseling. Finally, I am a US Army veteran and understand the challenges and needs of veterans. I operate under a practical approach that seeks to build on a person's strengths to achieve realistic, measurable goals. I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and reality therapy to help my clients achieve their goals and to live life more fully.

I hold a BA in psychology with a minor in children's studies and a master's degree in social work. I was licensed as a clinical social worker in Florida in 2020.

I will tailor the treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It's often difficult to know what you want and to pursue what you want. Especially, if broken patterns and negative family cycles are making you feel stagnant. There is an excitement that comes from building your own self-assurance and confidence as you stand securely in the story you want to live. Sometimes we wait to change our story because we don't feel ready. My hope is that we can all have the wisdom and courage to explore ourselves with compassion so that we can better love ourselves and love others. Let's create a foundation that allows us to live balanced personally, professionally, and relationally.

As an American Family Therapist, I work from a systemic perspective, focusing on the entire family unit rather than just the individual. My goal is to help families uncover and understand deep-rooted patterns and issues that interfere with healthy communication and connection. Through this process, I support each member in developing more effective ways of relating, resolving conflict, and fostering emotional safety with the family system. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and view my work through that lens. This means focusing on mindfulness, expanding tolerance for discomfort, increasing effectiveness in relationships and strengthening emotional regulation. When challenges arise in therapy, I often find that the root of the issue can be addressed through one of these core areas. For clients struggling with post-traumatic stress injuries-particularly common in military populations-I also incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them reframe and work through trauma-related beliefs. My approach is structured, evidence-based, and tailored to the needs of each individual or family.

You've found your way to me, Christina Carr Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and focused collaborative therapist. I was drawn to this work because I’ve seen how much the world around us—and how we interact with it—can impact our health and well-being. My background began in community development, fueled by a passion to help people live fully where they are. In my clinical work, I do this by focusing on those navigating grief, trauma, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with survivors of natural disasters, victims of crime, and people facing the death of someone important. I’ve learned that healing isn’t about fixing someone—it’s about bearing witness, honoring their reality, and reconnecting them to what’s meaningful. I do this with a compassionate and warm style, while also having an upfront and direct approach. I respect the people I get to talk to and am upfront and clear about why we are talking. This work continues to teach me how powerful it is to be seen and supported in moments of change and loss. That belief still motivates me every day.
