02 · In Carolyn's own words

What Carolyn says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm Carrie McGee, a dedicated therapist committed to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, helping them build resilience and find their way forward.

My therapeutic approach centers on compassion and understanding. I specialize in supporting women through significant life transitions-including divorce and separation-while exploring themes of self-love, forgiveness, and life purpose. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and valued for who you are.

I draw on evidence-based practices to create a safe, affirming space where you can process difficult experiences and reconnect with your strength. Whether you're working through past trauma, managing overwhelming emotions, or seeking clarity about your path forward, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect.

Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey toward healing and wholeness.

03 · How Carolyn works

The 5 approaches Carolyn lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Carolyn lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Carolyn's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Carolyn runs a session.

Acceptance and Commitment TherapyACT

Rather than trying to argue a painful thought away, ACT works on loosening its grip and getting on with what matters to you anyway. Sessions spend real time naming your values, then building action around them while difficult feelings are still present.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Reads present-day relationship difficulty through the lens of how safety and closeness were learned early on. The therapeutic relationship itself is treated as part of the work, because it is where the pattern tends to show up first.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Emotionally Focused TherapyEFT

Built for couples and rooted in attachment: the recurring argument is treated as a cycle two people are stuck in rather than as one person's fault. Sessions work to interrupt the cycle and get to what each person is actually asking for underneath it.

The Gottman Method

A couples approach built on decades of observational research into what distinguishes relationships that last. Structured and assessment-led: it maps friendship, conflict and shared meaning, then works on the specific mechanics of how the two of you argue.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Carolyn practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Carolyn's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Carolyn at this point.

2. Naming Carolyn specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Carolyn is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Carolyn.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Carolyn

Built from what Carolyn actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Carolyn's - Carolyn has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both The Gottman Method and Attachment-Based Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Carolyn's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Carolyn. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
