About Carrie
Carrie Canine is a California LMFT with seven years of clinical experience helping people manage mood disorders, anxiety, relationship struggles, and guilt and shame. She works with adults who are carrying heavy self-blame, chronic stress, or a sense that they keep getting in their own way.
Carrie focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that limit day-to-day functioning. She guides clients through straightforward steps to update their sense of self and test new ways of behaving. Sessions include practical tools for stress management and building healthier patterns in relationships.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people notice unhelpful thinking and practice more effective reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her attention to how early relationship patterns shape current trust and connection with others.
Technology is sometimes part of the work. Carrie may suggest phone-friendly mental health apps for tracking sleep, exercise, mood, and daily habits when that supports progress. She describes these tools as adjuncts that help guide real-life changes between sessions.
Carrie encourages small, measurable steps that fit into everyday routines. She invites clients to reassess where they limit themselves and to practice kinder ways of responding to setbacks. The focus is on practical change rather than lectures or abstract concepts.
How attachment, CBT, and DBT inform online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. It helps people notice how old ways of relating show up now and practices alternatives for more connected interactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines specific thoughts and beliefs that feed guilt and shame. It uses straightforward exercises to test those thoughts and build more helpful thinking habits suitable for everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotion and tolerating distress. Those skills can reduce impulsive reactions and give clear practices for times when shame or self-blame spike.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as needs change. That process is practical and done together rather than assumed in advance.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use phone-friendly tools for tracking sleep or mood between meetings. Licensed professionals can blend skills practice, thought records, and app-based habit tracking to keep progress moving between appointments.
