About Carrie
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with seven years' experience, Carrie Gajowski helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and LGBT concerns. She also supports issues around self-esteem and coping with life changes. Carrie uses several therapeutic approaches to guide conversations and practical change.
Carrie focuses on helping people untangle difficult relationships and recover from emotional harm. She concentrates on patterns like codependency, communication problems, and feelings of guilt or shame. She works with people navigating sexuality, non-monogamous relationships, and women's issues.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. She listens to what matters most, then offers tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Carrie also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at longstanding patterns and personal meaning.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying practical skills between meetings. Therapy can include work on self-love, managing social anxiety, or setting boundaries after emotional abuse. The focus is on clear steps that fit the person’s life.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Online sessions can focus on short exercises to practice acceptance and behavioral steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change patterns. In remote sessions, CBT often uses worksheets and in-session skill practice that people can use during the week. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one method will be used throughout. The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. They can also use less bandwidth when video is difficult and support step-by-step skill practice between meetings.Sheet 3
