About Carrie
Carrie Harris is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Alabama and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Maine with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and the challenges of life changes. Her profile also notes experience with issues related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer care, caregiver stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and women's concerns.
Carrie keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens for the specific thoughts and situations that feed ongoing guilt or shame and helps people name what is happening. Conversations focus on small, manageable steps and on building ways to cope with intense feelings when they come up. She adapts what she talks about to each person's situation rather than using the same script for everyone.
Her years in practice include work with people facing loss, medical crises, and long-term caregiving demands. That background informs how she helps people sort complicated emotions such as regret, responsibility, and unresolved grief. She aims to help clients find clearer thinking and steadier routines that reduce overwhelm.
Carrie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in session and will shape the approach to what the client needs. Sessions tend to balance talking through memories and current struggles with learning concrete ways to respond to difficult moments. She encourages realistic goals and checks in on progress as work continues.
Sessions are conducted in English and are built around what a person brings to the room. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Carrie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage strong emotions and stressful situations. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against everyday facts, which can reduce anxiety and lessen self-blame. Another approach combines talking about past and present difficulties with learning concrete coping skills for panic, grief, or trauma related reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on their concerns, goals, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people keep regular contact with a licensed professional from different locations, which can help maintain continuity during life changes.
