About Carrie

Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 23 years of experience. She focuses on women’s issues alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. Carrie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical steps forward.

She draws on client-centered methods to meet people where they are. Sessions emphasize listening, collaboration, and setting goals the client chooses. Carrie also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills.

Trauma-focused approaches guide work with past hurt, and mindfulness practices help people stay grounded during hard moments. Motivational interviewing supports those facing addiction or big life changes who want to find internal reasons to change. Carrie blends these methods to fit each person’s needs.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science degree in Counseling from the University of the Southwest. Over two decades of practice have included a wide mix of concerns from mood disorders to caregiver stress and body image struggles.

People who choose Carrie can expect straightforward, practical conversations. She helps clients set realistic goals, build coping tools, and track small changes over time. Her approach is respectful and paced to each person’s comfort.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Utah. Carrie works with adults on issues such as parenting strain, relationship difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life transitions.

How Carrie brings evidence-based care online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps set personal goals, and adapts pacing to each person's needs. This approach is helpful for people dealing with stress, low self-esteem, or relationship concerns because it centers the client’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Carrie uses CBT techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and reactions to stress or cravings related to addiction.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and sessions are driven by the client's experience and feedback.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get ongoing support between calls and to fit care into a busy day. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or medical needs.
