Carrie Cooper

Carrie Cooper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than 23 years of experience helping adults navigate difficult life moments. She brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on clear tools people can use each day. Carrie works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and coping with major life changes.

Her background includes a Master of Science degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Carrie uses approaches that include Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She blends these methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, practice coping strategies, and set achievable goals. Practical steps might include learning mindfulness skills to calm the body, trying new ways of responding to anxious thoughts, or working through past hurts at a pace that feels manageable. The emphasis is on small changes that make daily life easier.

Carrie aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard. She partners with each person to build a treatment approach that reflects their values and goals. Her work is driven by listening carefully and supporting steady progress.

She is licensed as an LPCC and as an LCMHC and provides services for people located in Utah. Sessions are conducted in English.

How Mindfulness and CBT Translate to Online Therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice bodily sensations and thoughts without getting swept away by them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and for building steady habits that improve daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying concrete behavioral experiments to change patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also supports using guided mindfulness exercises, written worksheets, and shared goal tracking between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so skills learned in sessions are practical for everyday life.
