About Carrie
Carrie Fraser is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship struggles, and questions about self-esteem and life changes. Sessions include attention to family dynamics and family of origin patterns when those come up.
Carrie uses practical conversation and goal-focused work. She listens for how past family roles and expectations show up now. From there she helps people identify small changes that can reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns, and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change.
Clients who bring addiction recovery, codependency, or grief often work on concrete coping skills and relapse prevention strategies. Those facing career or caregiving stress may map out boundaries and practical plans to reduce overload.
Over nearly three decades she has also worked with people around intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue. She integrates narrative and solution-focused techniques when useful to clarify values and build next steps.
People scheduling a first visit will find a straightforward intake and a focus on immediate, usable tools alongside longer-term work when needed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client directs much of the conversation; online sessions can use that same back-and-forth to clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns; this works well in session and with between-session assignments. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh their options and increase readiness for change through focused questions and planning.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. That might mean brief solution-focused steps at first, then CBT exercises later, or combining narrative work with motivational techniques.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can use video or phone differently depending on what a client prefers and what helps them participate fully.
