Carrie Canine, LMFT

Carrie Canine is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people navigate midlife transitions and mood concerns. She takes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach and works with clients to identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of everyday goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps and small changes that add up over time.

She pays close attention to self-sabotage and low self-esteem. Carrie helps people take a personal inventory, update their sense of self, and reconnect with what matters to them. That work often leads to clearer priorities and renewed motivation.

Carrie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when strong emotions or intense mood swings make daily life harder.

Technology is part of her toolbox for people who struggle with depression and anxiety. She may suggest mental health apps for tracking sleep, activity, or mood, and for practicing stress management exercises between sessions.

Her style is warm and practical. She encourages being kinder to yourself and testing small changes that improve relationships and daily routines. People who want to clarify life purpose or work through a midlife shift may find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships influence feelings and behavior. It helps people understand connection patterns that show up in adult life and improve how they relate to others.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and for shifting the daily habits that keep life feeling stuck.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when mood swings or strong reactions interfere with work or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a practical process and may shift over time as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support consistent check-ins. It also allows for sharing tools and tracking exercises between meetings to keep momentum going.
