- 5 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello! I’m Carrie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Nashville, Tennessee with 5 years of professional experience. I have my Masters Degree in Social Work and a certification in trauma treatment from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
I am passionate about helping others work through life’s difficulties - big and small. My primary practice experience is with children, teens, and families experiencing family conflicts, relationship issues, domestic violence, abuse & neglect, grief & loss, and life transitions. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue and first responder support in a hospital setting. My treatment approach is open and interactive. I follow a strengths-based model and utilize treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment Theory. I also have experience with Play and Art Therapy with children.
I understand that therapy can be a scary place and offer open and interactive dialogue to foster trust and support. I believe that you are the expert of your story and am grateful for the opportunity to learn more about you and start this journey together!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
