About Carrie

Carrie Melton is a licensed social worker with 12 years of experience helping people through hard transitions. She practices in Michigan and focuses on creating an affirming space for diverse identities, including LGBTQ issues. Carrie keeps language simple and practical so people can use what they learn right away.

She helps with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and changes like career shifts or health challenges. Her work often includes people managing caregiver strain, chronic illness, or intimacy and relationship concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma, ADHD, communication breakdowns, and compassion fatigue.

Carrie uses evidence-informed approaches to help people notice what matters and make steady changes. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skills practice, and real-life experiments so progress shows up between meetings. She focuses on building resilience and stronger ways to cope with distressing emotions.

In sessions she listens without judgment and works at a pace that feels right for each person. Together with clients she explores patterns, practices new responses, and refines ways to handle stress. She aims to leave people with tools they can use when life gets hard.

People seeking support for end-of-life concerns or hospice-related issues can bring those topics to sessions. Carrie makes space to talk through grief, practical worries, and the emotions that come with caregiving and aging. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change mood and function, which can help with stress, low mood, and workplace or relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and learning style. Sessions can combine techniques from different approaches so practical tools match what the person wants to achieve.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or let people use techniques and homework between meetings, which keeps momentum between sessions.
