01About Carrie
Dr. Carrie Allen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems like sleep difficulties and low self-esteem.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused. She helps people identify next steps and regain steady ground. She uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to address daily struggles and deeper pain.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on learning skills for emotion regulation, shifting unhelpful thinking, and clarifying personal values. The goal is to create small, realistic changes that add up over time. People come for many reasons - career transitions, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, or complex effects of past abuse.
Dr. Allen pays attention to how life events and relationships shape the issues people bring. She also works with concerns like body image, commitment and communication problems, and first responder stress.
Her approach is collaborative. She treats clients as partners who know their lives best and combines practical tools with careful listening. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person and focus on skills that can be used between meetings.
Therapy is offered in English and delivered through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, sleep issues, and managing anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit each person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients help shape sessions so the work aligns with their priorities and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth or screen time is limited, and chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, short breaks, or different time zones for those in Texas who need remote care.
