Carrie Melton, LMSW

Carrie Melton, LMSW, draws on 12 years of clinical work to support people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and big life changes. She creates an affirming environment for a range of identities, including LGBTQ people, and focuses on practical steps that feel doable in daily life.

Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions often look at communication patterns and habits that get in the way of goals. She helps people sort through relationship strains, work stress, and challenges linked to grief, trauma, or intimacy-related concerns.

Carrie blends several evidence-based methods to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice what matters to them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when stronger emotion regulation strategies are useful.

Clients can expect a steady, respectful pace and concrete skills to practice between sessions. The focus is on building resilience, clearer communication, and more satisfying connections. Carrie also supports career concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and a wide range of other life stressors.

She is based in Michigan and offers therapy in English. People who are interested can reach the service through the platform onboarding to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values even when emotions are hard. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus, useful for emotion regulation and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they will try tools, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy feels relevant and doable.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using practical skill-building between sessions in everyday settings, so techniques can be practiced where life actually happens.
