About Carrie
Carrie Kinder is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She has 15 years of experience and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Carrie aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for busy lives.
Her work centers on helping people find steadier ground after difficult events. She supports folks who feel isolated, stuck, or unsure about their life purpose. Sessions often include building better communication, managing intense emotions, and finding small habits that make a difference.
Carrie uses strategies from approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for emotion regulation and staying present. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people set clear, achievable goals. Trauma-focused practices guide recovery when past events continue to cause pain.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where practical tools and personal values guide the work. Carrie emphasizes self-compassion and realistic problem solving rather than quick fixes. She helps people balance immediate coping with longer-term growth.
Her background includes working with a range of concerns related to work and wellbeing, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and addiction challenges. She tailors the plan to each person, linking skills training with what matters most in daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online sessions using DBT-style skill work can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and problems with mood by practicing clear techniques and homework between meetings.Mindfulness Therapy focuses on learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. In an online setting this often means short guided exercises and simple practices that can be used during stressful moments at work or home.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one approach. Together they’ll try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
