About Carrie
Carrie Melton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and concerns related to identity and relationships, including LGBT issues and intimacy-related worries.
She focuses on concrete skills and clearer thinking rather than labels. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Clients work on communication patterns, coping tools, and ways to manage stress and mood shifts.
Her background includes work with people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career changes. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, codependency, and problems around intimacy and sexual expression, including BDSM and kink communities.
Carrie draws from a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit different problems. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps sharpen thinking patterns and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and staying present.
Sessions tend to focus on practical coping strategies, communication skills, and small experiments to test new ways of relating. She supports people working toward forgiveness or making peace with past choices, while avoiding quick fixes. The work is paced to individual needs and focuses on usable steps rather than theory.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings, connect with what matters to them, and take small steps toward chosen values. It can be useful for guilt or shame that keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to shift mood and stress levels. It is often practical for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused goals.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Carrie will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying something, reviewing how it felt, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single method up front.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in their everyday routines, such as doing a brief mindfulness exercise between tasks or using CBT worksheets at home. Ask about the session length and structure when you schedule to match therapy to your needs.
