Carrie Main, LPCC, LPC

Carrie Main holds a Master of Professional Studies degree from the University of Minnesota and brings four years of experience working in addiction and mental health. She practices with the perspective that people are fundamentally good, shaped by a variety of life experiences that influence how they interact with themselves and others. As a licensed clinician with both LPCC and LPC credentials - LPCC meaning Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and LPC meaning Licensed Professional Counselor - she combines formal training with practical experience to support individuals facing substance use and mental health challenges.

Carrie emphasizes a personalized approach to therapy, recognizing that each person arrives with unique history, values, and goals. She works to understand how past experiences inform current patterns and tailors care to fit each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Her style centers on collaboration, respect, and practical strategies that help people move forward from difficult circumstances while honoring their individual strengths and perspectives.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Carrie Main uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs presented by each client. One focus is addiction-informed care that helps people address substance use through practical strategies for managing cravings, building support, and planning for recovery. Another emphasis is trauma-informed work that helps individuals process difficult experiences and understand how those events influence relationships, mood, and daily functioning. She also employs skills-focused interventions that teach concrete coping tools for anxiety, stress, sleep disruption, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Carrie works with clients to identify priorities, try approaches that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time so treatment stays effective and relevant to each person’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care through life transitions, and maintain momentum between appointments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to an online setting.
