About Carrie

Carrie Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She brings a warm, down-to-earth style to sessions. People notice her practical focus and straightforward approach from the first meeting.

Carrie trained at Florida International University for her Master of Social Work and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Brandeis University. Much of her career was in the nonprofit sector, where she worked with a wide range of challenges and supervised therapists and program directors.

Background and approach

That background shaped her focus on what actually helps in day-to-day life. She uses Narrative Therapy alongside Client-Centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help people tell a clearer story about their lives. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, testing small changes, and choosing actions that fit personal values.

Carrie favors solution-focused steps and tries to keep work practical and goal-oriented. Her experience also includes quality improvement and program oversight, so she pays attention to which methods are working and adjusts treatment when needed. She aims to move toward measurable improvements rather than leaving things vague.

People describe her as caring but candid, blending empathy with sensible problem solving. She also uses mindfulness and dialectical skills when those tools fit the goals. Carrie works from Florida and conducts sessions in English.

Online session options

How narrative and practical therapies work online

Online sessions with Carrie commonly draw on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite how they view stressful or painful experiences. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so people feel heard and can explore options at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses simple experiments to test new ways of acting and thinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Carrie will talk with each person about goals, preferred ways of working, and what has helped in the past. Together they try interventions for a few sessions and adjust if something is not working, keeping the focus on what the person wants to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, between-session coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
