About Carrie
Carrie Cooper, LPCC, LCMHC, is licensed in New Mexico and Utah and has 23 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and relationship concerns using her preferred therapeutic approaches. Carrie describes her style as client-centered and trauma-informed, and she names cognitive-behavioral methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing among the tools she uses.
Carrie helps people talk through grief, parenting struggles, and major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use. Her work includes attention to attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, codependency, and related patterns that affect daily life.
She combines client-centered listening with structured CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new behavioral skills. Mindfulness practices are used to manage overwhelming emotions and to increase present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing helps with readiness to change when addiction or ambivalence gets in the way.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of the Southwest. Over two decades of clinical work have included diverse participants and many presentations of mood, trauma, and adjustment concerns. Carrie aims to create a treatment plan driven by the client’s goals and pace.
Sessions focus on practical strategies and steady progress. She outlines clear steps for coping, symptom reduction, and behavior change. The emphasis is on collaborative planning, problem solving, and building skills that people can use between sessions.

How Carrie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps set realistic steps forward. This approach is useful for relationship issues, grief, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors. Sessions include skills coaching, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to lower reactivity and manage strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for therapeutic practices between meetings. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT exercises, motivational interviewing techniques, and mindfulness practices in virtual sessions as in person.
