About Carrie
Dr. Carrie Allen, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), holds a Texas license and has 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career or life transitions. She emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life and sees mindset as a key factor in progress.
Dr. Allen describes the client as the expert in their story. She listens for existing strengths and then helps apply practical strategies to everyday problems. Sessions combine talking through current struggles with learning tools to manage mood, sleep, and stress responses.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered work. These methods are used to address patterns like avoidance, harsh self-judgment, and relationship or communication problems. Therapy includes skills practice and decision-focused conversations.
She also works with issues that commonly co-occur, such as chronic health concerns, caregiving stress, first responder strain, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Practical coping, communication skills, and attention to values and commitment are frequent focuses in sessions.
Dr. Allen asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. Confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and motivation challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Allen will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as treatment progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking. Sessions are arranged through the site process described in the profile, and practical benefits of remote work include fitting appointments into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that may reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to use skills between meetings and to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
