About Carrie

Carrie Zanoni is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who blends client-centered care with practical, evidence-based techniques to help people navigate difficult life transitions and persistent struggles.

Background and approach

She draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS) alongside cognitive behavioral strategies to explore internal parts, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and build skills that support emotional regulation and healthier choices.

With 16 years of clinical experience, Carrie works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues while also addressing related areas like grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s priorities, encouraging clients to shape goals and treatment at their own pace. Carrie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT skills, and client-centered listening to foster greater self-awareness and resilience.

She aims to be a steady source of support, walking alongside clients as they make changes, and tailoring interventions to match individual needs and circumstances. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different lifestyles and schedules.

Using IFS and Evidence-Based Methods in Online Therapy



Carrie combines Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to guide online work. IFS focuses on identifying and dialoguing with internal parts - the protective, wounded, and managerial aspects of experience - to reduce internal conflict and promote self-led change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and present-moment awareness, helping people make meaningful choices even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centered therapy creates an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s priorities shape the pace and focus of care.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carrie treats method selection as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, then tailor the blend of IFS, ACT, and practical skills to fit each person’s needs rather than applying one rigid model.

Online therapy with Carrie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more accessible and flexible for varied routines. These formats allow work on emotional regulation, coping skills, values-guided change, and parts-focused exploration without requiring travel, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and busy schedules.
