Our Approach

Our approach to counseling is eclectic and individualized, allowing us to draw from various therapeutic methods and techniques to best suit your unique needs and goals. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, as we understand that human experiences and emotions are complex and multi-layered. Instead, we carefully consider your specific concerns and work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored plan for therapy that maximizes your potential for healing and growth.

Our primary techniques center around the following models:

• Behavioral: This approach focuses on changing actions and behaviors to improve overall well-being. By identifying patterns that contribute to distress and developing healthier alternatives, you can foster more positive experiences and relationships.
• Cognitive: This method emphasizes changing thinking patterns and beliefs that may be causing emotional pain or interfering with daily life. By exploring and reframing negative thought patterns, you can cultivate a more balanced and constructive perspective.
• Affective: This approach centers on understanding and managing emotions to improve emotional regulation and resilience. By increasing emotional awareness and developing coping strategies, you can better navigate your emotional landscape and strengthen your relationships.

EMDR Therapy

In addition to our eclectic approach, Carter Counseling, PLLC specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is a highly effective and evidence-based treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression, and various other mental health concerns. By reprocessing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, EMDR can help you achieve lasting relief and healing. Gina Carter, our lead therapist, is a certified EMDR therapist with EMDRIA, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care and expertise.
