Carrie Vine

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Carrie and I use she/her pronouns. I am a cisgender woman that lives in Illinois. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have over 8 years of experience in the field. My specialties include LGBTQ issues and those living with HIV. Another one of passions is Harm Reduction and substance misuse. I use a non-judgmental approach to all of my counseling and therapy. I also have experience working with elders and aging and have a specialty niche of LGBTQ elders and those aging with HIV.

I attended Southern Illinois University where I received a Bachelor’s in Music, a bachelor’s in Social Work, and a Master’s in Social Work. I am currently still working on my Master’s in Public Health and finishing my Gerontology degree.

As a therapist I am very focused on small steps toward progress and primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my work. I find this the most versatile and easiest for most clients to understand. I have also been studying ACT Therapy (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and have been using that a bit as well.

I look forward to working with new clients in this format in our own time. I hope to lend some of my expertise to help guide people to meaningful connections and rich, full lives.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and practice indicate that virtual sessions often address these issues successfully.

One major advantage of remote therapy is flexibility. People can choose the format that works best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or manage access barriers.

All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they need a different fit. This approach allows individuals to find the therapeutic relationship and style that best support their goals.

Overall, online therapy offers a practical, adaptable way to pursue mental health support while maintaining the same standards of clinical practice expected from licensed therapists.
