Carrie Leafblad, LPC

Carrie Leafblad is a licensed professional counselor in Texas. She works with people who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. Carrie focuses on practical steps people can use right away and keeps things direct and compassionate.

Carrie helps people managing major life changes and midlife questions that can feel overwhelming. She pays attention to relationship strain, parenting stress, and the wear of caregiving. Her practice also addresses body image, eating concerns, and the emotional fallout from past hurt.

The approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions typically include talking through what feels most urgent, learning coping skills, and trying small experiments between meetings. Carrie uses methods that emphasize the client’s goals and personal strengths to make steady progress.

People meet Carrie for help with addiction issues, anger and impulsivity, ADHD related challenges, and ongoing mood conditions like bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, dissociation, or the stress of chronic illness. Her work includes attention to intimacy-related struggles and communication problems that affect daily life.

With five years of experience, Carrie aims to make therapy understandable and useful. She encourages realistic goals and clear steps so people can notice change. Prospective clients are invited to begin by outlining their current concerns and goals before scheduling.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel heard and understood. It helps people clarify goals, make choices, and build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It often uses short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and coping with anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That shared decision helps shape sessions so they fit your life and needs rather than forcing a single method.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports steady work on skills between visits and can help people stay consistent with treatment while balancing family, work, and daily responsibilities.
