Carrie Stormzand , LPC

Carrie Stormzand, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri who brings more than a decade of experience supporting children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, addiction, ADHD, career transitions, and issues related to self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Carrie emphasizes the whole person and how mental health touches every area of life, making practical change and emotional growth the central goals of her work.

Carrie practices from a person-centered foundation, which means she prioritizes a respectful, collaborative relationship that honors each person’s capacity for growth. She combines that core stance with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to fit the needs and goals of each individual, using skills and strategies that address coping, self-regulation, and life changes. Her experience includes working across the lifespan, so she adapts interventions to be age-appropriate whether supporting children, teenagers, or adults.

Beginning therapy can be a meaningful first step toward creating a life the client wants to live. Carrie values partnership in the process and works alongside people to set achievable goals, build coping skills, and move through transitions with greater resilience and clarity.

Person-Centered Care and Skills-Focused Online Therapy

Carrie draws on a person-centered approach that prioritizes empathy, respect, and collaboration to help clients explore goals and build momentum toward change. This approach centers the therapeutic relationship and supports growth by honoring each person’s strengths and preferences.

Alongside that foundation, she uses skills-focused, evidence-based techniques that teach practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and addiction. These techniques often involve learning tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and improving communication to support daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Carrie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferred pace. Together they adjust strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy provides flexible options for connecting - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to work across distances. Licensed professionals can deliver the same focused, evidence-informed interventions through these formats, helping clients access consistent care from home or wherever they are.
