Carrie Zanoni

Carrie Zanoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on helping people navigate hard life changes, grief, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She works with clients on practical steps to feel steadier and more connected in day-to-day life. Her style aims to be warm, direct, and focused on what matters most to each person.

Carrie uses a client-centered approach that starts with each person’s values and goals. That means sessions are shaped around what the client wants to address and how they prefer to work. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes that can make a difference.

Over 16 years of practice, Carrie has supported people facing depression, addiction, trauma, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges like sleep, eating, and anger. She also helps with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, intimacy-related struggles, and career stress. She pays attention to how chronic illness, aging, and blended family dynamics affect daily life.

In sessions she aims to listen carefully first, then map out clear steps clients can take between meetings. That might include brief behavior experiments, communication practice, or emotion regulation skills. Her goal is to help clients build skills that fit their routine.

Carrie encourages a steady, collaborative pace. She supports parents, people grieving loss, and those coping with major transitions by helping them remember their priorities and take manageable steps forward.

Approaches for online care and finding the right fit

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and take action toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and when life feels unsteady. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to improve mood and daily functioning. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, giving space for people to guide the pace and focus of work while the therapist listens and reflects.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss these options and help figure out which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not stated here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It also allows for continued support through major life transitions and grief when getting to an office is difficult. Discuss logistics during the matching process so sessions fit your routine and goals.
