About Carrie
Carrie Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 21 years of experience to therapeutic work in Florida. She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, tailoring interventions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Her background includes roles in nonprofit settings supporting children, adults, and families through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, mood disorders, and other life transitions. Her career also involved supervising clinicians and program directors and leading continuous quality improvement efforts to ensure services align with best practice standards.
That systems-level experience informs a pragmatic, outcome-minded approach that still centers each individual's experience. Clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth clinician who balances empathy with clear, solution-focused strategies and a sense of humor when appropriate.
Carrie incorporates client-centered and mindfulness-based elements, adapting techniques from motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and behavioral skills to help people reach practical goals. She emphasizes monitoring progress so interventions remain effective and responsive to changing circumstances, working collaboratively to find approaches that fit each client's life and preferences.
Integrating IFS, CBT, and Client-Centered Care Online
Carrie uses Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and relate to different parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion; this approach can be useful for addressing internal conflicts, trauma responses, and self-critical patterns. She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and problem-solving. In addition, client-centered therapy shapes the therapeutic stance by prioritizing empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals when charting a path forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, experience, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time based on what is most effective for the individual.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible ways to engage in this work. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from within Florida. The variety of options supports different communication styles and practical needs while keeping the focus on meaningful therapeutic progress.
