About Carrie
Carrie Zanoni is an LPC with 16 years of experience who blends a client-centered stance with practical therapies to help people navigate hard changes. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. Her tone is straightforward and steady, aimed at people who need a calm, clear path forward.
Carrie starts by listening to what matters most to each person. She helps clients set goals that match their values and day-to-day life. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that build better thinking and coping skills over time.
Her work uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice what matters to them and act in ways that support those values. Emotion-focused elements are included when relationships and attachment issues are central concerns.
Across 16 years in Michigan, Carrie has helped people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and blended family issues. She addresses communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness with practical tools and supportive conversation.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Carrie aims to be a steady companion while clients work through change, offering guidance, feedback, and concrete skills they can use outside the session. She encourages people to take small steps that add up to meaningful difference.

How these approaches work for online therapy
Carrie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and shifting behavior through practical exercises. CBT is often useful for stress, sleep and eating concerns, anxiety, and mood changes. Carrie also brings client-centered principles, which means the sessions start from each person’s priorities and pace.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try techniques together to see what fits best. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and use brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel and help them practice new skills in everyday settings.
