Carri McClellan

Carri McClellan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, and related concerns. She brings sixteen years of experience and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps so clients can see progress between meetings.

Carri uses plain language and a calm approach to help people understand what drives their reactions. She draws from several therapy methods to tailor work to each person. That can mean learning skills to handle strong emotions, looking at patterns that keep problems going, or using focused methods to process past hurts.

Her background includes work in substance use treatment and trauma-related care, so she is familiar with addiction, grief, and complex stress. She trained in counseling psychology and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. Her credential LPC means Licensed Professional Counselor, and LPC-MHSP reflects a mental health service provider designation.

In sessions she balances listening with hands-on techniques. Clients can expect to set personal goals and practice new ways of responding to anger and stress. Mindfulness exercises, cognitive tools, and emotion regulation skills are commonly used.

Carri works with adults in Tennessee and provides care in English. She does not take international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist emphasizes understanding and works with clients to set meaningful goals and make decisions that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at what people think and do in stressful moments. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce angry reactions and persistent worry.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools help when feelings feel overwhelming and when people want steadier responses to conflict and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques come first and how sessions progress.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel for care. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice new skills between meetings and build routines that support long-term change.
