About Carrie
Carrie Hillebrandt is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 16 years in the field. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and many life changes. Parents worried about behavior or parenting strain can find practical support.
She also addresses trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and career or purpose questions. Carrie takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies, communication tools, and ways to manage intense emotions. She aims for a calm, respectful tone and avoids blame or judgement. Her background includes work in residential settings and independent practice across many client situations.
Carrie draws on a mix of proven methods to match each person’s needs rather than a single technique. She keeps up ongoing professional reading, training, and consultation to refine her practice. People meet Carrie and find a steady, practical partner for change.
She emphasizes building rapport as the first step, then makes a tailored plan for skills, insight, or problem solving. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on realistic steps forward. Carrie works with issues that range from adoption and attachment problems to forgiveness, impulsivity, midlife concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She uses clear, plain language in sessions so people understand next steps and feel able to try them between meetings.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and learning to take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors, which suits issues like stress, anger, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop healthier ways of connecting and managing emotional triggers.Carrie works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She reviews goals, preferences, and how a person responds to different techniques, then adjusts the plan together. The process is flexible so methods can be mixed or changed as needs evolve.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone visits, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is helpful for longer therapy work and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing tracking of progress. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
