About Carrie
Carrie Leafblad is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems, depression, addictions, and anger. Carrie also addresses parenting strain and relationship concerns when those issues affect an individual’s emotional life.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods to listen and help people name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.
Carrie often combines mindfulness exercises with structured skills practice. For people processing painful memories, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques alongside grounding strategies. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps people can try between meetings rather than abstract theory.
She pays attention to common life stressors such as caregiving demands, body image struggles, and changes after separation. The work typically focuses on the individual’s goals - improving mood, reducing overwhelm, and handling anger without making promises about outcomes.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Texas LPC standards. Carrie describes therapy as collaborative; she helps people set short-term goals, track small wins, and adjust plans if something isn’t working. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client decides what matters. Online sessions let a therapist and client talk through what feels most urgent and set clear next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote meetings CBT can be used to identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and assign short practical exercises to do between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills can be practiced in real life and reviewed together during online appointments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and agree on a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. That plan can change over time if a different mix of techniques seems more helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills and homework in the environment where daily challenges happen. Licensed professionals typically adapt tools like CBT worksheets, DBT skill coaching, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused.
