Carrie Fraser, LMFT

Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee. She brings 28 years of experience and a steady, collaborative style to sessions. Carrie focuses on practical support to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and life transitions.

She believes counseling should be a team effort. In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space where people can name feelings and figure out what matters to them. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and simple steps rather than clinical jargon. The aim is to help clients act on goals and feel more grounded in daily life.

Carrie draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing, and she also uses narrative and solution-focused techniques when helpful. This mix lets her address issues like codependency, substance use and relationship strain in ways that fit the individual.

Her background includes long experience with addiction recovery, crisis management, caregiving stress, and spiritual concerns. She often helps people coping with major changes, caregiver burden, cancer-related stress, and aging and geriatric issues. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps toward healthier routines.

People who choose Carrie can expect straightforward guidance, respectful listening, and collaborative planning. She supports clients through both immediate problems and longer-term change, helping them make choices that reflect their values and strengths.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. Carrie offers a supportive space where the client leads the pace and topics, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help people make sense of their experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Carrie uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test new behaviors, and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, preferences, and current concerns. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It also supports consistent work on goals when regular in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals typically discuss the best way to meet so sessions suit each person’s routine and needs.
