2 Sessions with Carrie. I am very comfortable with her, she listens and engages when appropriate. Carrie has given me tools, i.e. worksheets to use and referrals for books to read that help in my process. I am comfortable with Carrie and with Betterhelp and the journey I am taking with both. So far a great investment in my future
More about Carrie

- LPCC, LPC
My name is Carrie Sorenson and I have a Master's of Professional Studies degree from the University of Minnesota. I currently have been working in the field of addiction and mental health now for 4 years. The core of my work, as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and a licensed professional clinical counselor is focused on the belief that all of my clients are human beings who fundamentally are good. Human beings who have had diverse experiences throughout their lives, which have shaped the way they perceive and engage in the world around them. I therefore, believe that each individual comes with their own unique experiences and perspectives, which is why I value the importance of providing an individual approach to therapy.

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.

Carrie had helped me so much. After going through a difficult stretch, she has helped me be positive and hopeful about my future.
I haven’t worked with Carrie long as I am just getting started in therapy. Carrie has not given me any reason to not trust her, doubt her or feel like she is not competent. I look forward to working on the areas of concern with her. I really appreciate her response times. She always answers every text in a timely manner. When leaving a chapter of life that has destroyed any trust you have to give, having someone consistent is extremely important.
Carrie is patient and kind. She seems to listen when she hears me. I feel validated and also see her giving constructive advice about how we can work on me. I feel calmer and more confident about my days. They have been easier to navigate. I appreciate small exercises she gives me to apply healthy principles into my daily living. I am grateful for Carrie
Carrie is GREAT! She is a good listener and challenges me to try new things as well as asks about how things with my current goals are going!
Great
Carrie is compassionate and open to hearing and giving activities to help with moving on.
