About Carrie
Carrie Melton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Carrie also lists LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, career and coaching needs, and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.
She uses several practical therapy approaches to help people manage symptoms and everyday problems. Sessions emphasize straightforward skills and clearer communication. Carrie pays attention to how thoughts and behavior affect mood and relationships, and she helps people practice new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches are used to address patterns such as stress reactions, avoidance, and emotional reactivity. She often blends techniques to match what a person needs that week.
People contact her about concrete concerns like workplace strain, family problems, fertility stress, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and conflicts around intimacy or kink. She also works with those processing grief, trauma, or long-term mood struggles.
Carrie aims to work at a steady, manageable pace. Conversations focus on clearer communication, coping strategies, and practical steps toward daily functioning. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to select an initial session time and format.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes by building acceptance and practical habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy practices present-moment attention to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. Carrie works collaboratively to test methods and adjust the plan based on the person’s goals and what is actually helpful. Sessions often mix skills training, values work, and mindful practice depending on the issue at hand.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or parenting responsibilities into a day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists commonly adapt exercises for remote use, such as guided mindfulness practices, brief behavior experiments to try between visits, and step-by-step skill coaching to practice during the week.
