Carrie Harris

Carrie Harris is a licensed social worker who brings 13 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Carrie emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care as she meets each person where they are.

Her work is practical and straightforward. She listens first to understand what feels most urgent. Together with each person she tailors conversation and a plan to fit real life demands. That might mean short-term coping tools, pacing difficult emotions, or finding ways to rebuild confidence.

Carrie also has experience with adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, caregiving strain, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and issues around guilt, shame, and forgiveness. She has helped people facing panic attacks and post-traumatic stress as well.

She is licensed in Alabama as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and in Maine as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LICSW and LCSW. Carrie aims to support and empower people as they work toward changes that matter to them.

To begin, she asks about what brought someone in and adapts the pace to their needs. The focus is on clear steps, practical strategies, and steady support during challenging transitions.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world practice. One common approach teaches coping skills and breathing or grounding techniques to manage anxiety and panic so moments of intense fear become easier to handle. Another frequent method helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life through paced discussion and gradual exposure to difficult material.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in everyday life. Together they try different strategies and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits the person's needs and comfort level.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, or choose an option that needs less bandwidth or no video. It can also help maintain continuity of care during life changes and support regular check-ins that keep progress moving forward.
