About Carrie
Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Tennessee with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, career uncertainty, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Carrie uses practical, collaborative counseling rather than lecturing. Sessions focus on clear communication about feelings and needs. She helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and try different ways of coping when situations feel overwhelming.
Her background includes extensive work in mental health, addiction recovery, crisis management, and spiritual direction. That experience informs how she approaches substance use, codependency, and grief. She draws on several therapeutic tools so sessions can shift as a person's needs change.
In practice Carrie uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person. She also applies cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when people want concrete steps and accountability.
People who are feeling stuck after a job change, a breakup, illness, or a loss may find her approach straightforward and practical. She encourages honest conversation about goals and obstacles and supports clients in taking the next small steps toward clearer direction.
How Carrie’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice this means identifying patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and trying behavioral experiments to see what shifts.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, asks clarifying questions, and supports the person's choices rather than directing them.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-oriented style that supports readiness for change. It is useful for addiction recovery, ambivalence about life changes, and situations where someone wants clearer motivation and plan steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion typically happens in early sessions and can change as progress is made.
