About
Dr. Carrie Willey, LPCC, LPC, brings 36 years of clinical work across residential and specialty treatment settings. Her background includes work with The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona where she facilitated a Survivor's Workshop influenced by Post-Induction-Therapy methods, and leadership as Clinical Director and therapist at Shades of Hope, a program focused on addictions and eating disorders. She has also provided assessments and treatment through Indian Health Services in tribal locations.
Her practice addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and food-related concerns, mood and anxiety disorders, relationship and family issues, and a range of process addictions. Clinically she uses an eclectic approach with primary reliance on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and additional training in Somatic Experiencing. Assignments and active client participation are part of her typical work to reinforce skill development.
Outside clinical work she identifies as spiritual rather than religious and is an avid bicyclist. She emphasizes drawing on individual strengths and reducing restrictive behavioral patterns to support people in becoming the fullest expression of themselves.

Remote sessions using CBT, DBT, and somatic methods
Dr. Willey structures online work around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients build practical skills and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is described in accessible steps that connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. She commonly uses assignments to extend learning between sessions and to encourage active collaboration.
Somatic techniques are integrated when addressing trauma and body-based responses. This approach pays attention to physical sensations and regulation strategies alongside cognitive and relational work. Clients who prefer a mix of skill training, reflective inquiry, and somatic awareness may find this collaborative style a fit.
Remote appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain continuity of care and to adapt to clients' communication preferences.
