About Carrie

Carrie Zanoni is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends relational and evidence-based methods to help people manage life’s hard moments. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in daily life.

Background and approach

She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel doable and down-to-earth. Carrie begins by listening to what matters most to each person.

She uses a client-centered stance so goals come from the client’s priorities. From there she introduces techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are a key concern. Over 16 years in practice, Carrie has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.

She also helps with parenting stress, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges like sleeping and eating issues. She works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, and career strain as well.

Sessions are paced to the person. Carrie blends practical skill-building with warm, steady support.

She will help people practice new responses and notice small changes that add up. Carrie sees clients in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire connects people to scheduling options and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Carrie uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns by helping people notice interaction habits and practice clearer communication. That approach focuses on specific skills for repairing conflict and building connection in day-to-day life.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which helps people clarify values and take small, consistent steps toward them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning are central.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Carrie discusses goals and preferences with each person and suggests techniques that fit those aims. She adjusts methods over time so the work matches what is actually helping in life.

Online therapy offers options to make that collaboration easier. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit around work, caregiving, or treatment schedules. These formats support flexibility while carrying the same therapeutic goals of skill practice and clearer communication.
