About Carrie
Carrie Fraser is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Tennessee. She brings 28 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and anger. She favors a collaborative approach and aims to make each session straightforward and practical.
Carrie keeps conversation simple and direct. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most. Sessions often include goal-setting and small steps that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
The pace is based on each person’s needs and what feels manageable. Her background includes long work with substance use and recovery, crisis response, and life transitions. That experience shapes how she supports people during big changes.
She also addresses relationship concerns, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. Carrie uses several approaches to tailor care, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods guide conversations and practical strategies rather than fixed routines.
She adapts techniques to the situation in front of her. People who meet with Carrie typically work on coping skills, communication, and rebuilding routines after loss or major change. She also helps those navigating addiction, codependency, or compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to leave people with clear next steps and tools to try between meetings. Carrie emphasizes respect, empathy, and steady support. She encourages honest talk and collaboration to find what moves a person forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change simple habits that feed anxiety or low mood. It’s often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps.Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping people clarify values, goals, and choices. This approach supports self-esteem, grief work, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will talk through goals and try methods that match needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels realistic and useful for each person.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide discussion for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
