More about Carlee

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW

My focus is to help people recover, heal and live with purpose and strength. We achieve this together by holding a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing an individualized treatment plan that's about you. I work with people on substance use issues, traumatic stress, and other causes of depression, anxiety, anger, or grief.

The most important thing about therapy is having a good relationship with your counselor. Trust, and working at your pace are what I strive for. We can use talk-therapy, EMDR, and other methods. Mindfulness, meditation, and Yoga can be included as desired. Issues that women and girls face such as relationships, motherhood, and DV are often addressed.

I am truly honored on a daily basis to be invited to this sacred heart's work. I strive to use my own experience to be of service to others who are driven to heal. Thank you for considering me. We do recover!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
