About Carrie
Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 23 years of experience working with adults. She practices in Utah and focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, and anger.
Carrie holds a Master of Science in Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Over two decades of practice have given her exposure to many life situations and challenges. She works with people who are navigating major life changes, managing chronic illness or pain, coping with attachment and family of origin issues, and handling loss or separation.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to the individual. Carrie also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and try practical shifts that reduce distress.
Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused work appear in sessions when they fit the concern. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen commitment and follow-through for people working on addictions or behavior change. Sessions aim to produce clear, doable next steps rather than long lists of theory.
People who bring concerns about control issues, codependency, body image, ADHD, or compassion fatigue will find these topics included in her experience. The focus is on helping clients name problems, try practical strategies, and build skills for handling anger, frustration, or recurring conflicts in day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying practical, small changes to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day coping strategies.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping the individual set their own goals. This approach supports people who want to talk through relationship strain, parenting stress, or feelings like shame and emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or trauma-focused techniques fit their goals. She adapts what is used based on the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make some tools, such as mindfulness exercises and homework assignments, easier to review between sessions.
