About Carrie
Carrie Catterson-Fitzmaurice is a licensed social worker in Kansas with 14 years of clinical experience. She holds LSCSW and LCSW credentials and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. Carrie aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk honestly and use a bit of humor while they work through hard things.
Her practice focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, grief, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing relationship problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and seasonal mood shifts are other areas she addresses. Carrie uses mostly solution-focused ideas together with cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.
In sessions she helps people set clear goals, try small experiments, and notice which thoughts and behaviors get in the way of those goals. The pace is collaborative and practical, not overly technical. She prefers plain language and encourages clients to be goal oriented and self aware.
Carrie treats clients with respect and keeps an open mind about different lifestyles and beliefs. Her style is relaxed and direct, with room for humor when it helps the work. People who want concrete steps and a therapist who emphasizes problem-solving tend to fit well with her approach.
She offers a mix of coaching-style feedback and evidence-informed tools to help people make steady progress.

How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and small behavior experiments to try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person's reasons for change and strengthen their motivation. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what helps. Together you will pick methods that match your needs and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation and use worksheets together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging provide fast, flexible ways to share updates or get brief support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
