About Karrie
Karrie Houston is a licensed social worker in Michigan who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers straightforward support for day-to-day challenges and bigger life changes. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at making it easier to talk about what’s happening now.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps her clients spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that make life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation or deciding what steps to take next. Karrie keeps sessions practical. She helps people build immediate coping strategies for anger and anxiety.
She also works on communication skills and self-worth, and she supports people facing abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiving stress, and isolation. Her style is collaborative and calm. She asks questions, offers tools, and checks in to see what is or isn’t working.
Sessions focus on short-term wins and on building skills people can use between meetings. Clients report she makes room for honest conversation without pressure. With five years of professional experience and the LMSW credential - Licensed Master Social Worker - she centers each plan on the person in front of her.
People in Michigan can connect with her for video, phone, chat, or messaging sessions.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Karrie uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and to follow what matters most to each person; this helps people feel heard and develop goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build their own motivation to take steps forward.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Karrie will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. She checks progress and adjusts techniques so the work stays relevant and practical for the person in therapy.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face-to-face. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or check in between meetings and can fit into short breaks or tight schedules. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills consistently.
