About Carrie
Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and other life changes.
Carrie uses straightforward, collaborative counseling. She focuses on clear communication and practical steps people can use between sessions. Sessions are meant to help people talk through feelings, identify patterns, and try different ways of responding when anger or frustration comes up.
Her background includes work in addiction recovery, crisis management, and spiritual direction. That mix gives her experience with strong emotions, loss, and big life transitions. She draws on several established approaches to match what each person needs.
In practice she blends client-centered conversation with goal-focused tools. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that feed anger, naming what matters most, and testing small changes to see what helps. Carrie also uses motivational strategies for people who want to make concrete changes in behavior.
People who come for help with anger often also bring relationship strain, work stress, or grief. Carrie aims to help them find clearer boundaries, calmer responses, and better ways to repair after conflicts. The sessions emphasize practical skills, clearer thinking, and real-world steps that can be tried between meetings.
How Carrie uses proven therapies online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice patterns that fuel anger and try different responses to reduce reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values, using reflective listening and open conversation to clarify what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will discuss options and collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That way strategies are practical and tied to real changes the person wants to make.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions can be useful when video is difficult, and brief sessions can fit into a lunch break or a quiet hour. Carrie will work with each person to match session length and pacing to what fits their daily life.
