About Carrie
Carrie Ryberg is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping people manage hard moments. She practices in Illinois and offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Carrie draws on practical methods to help people feel steadier day to day.
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps that people can try between meetings. She values a down-to-earth style and talks in plain language rather than clinical terms.
Background and approach
Her background includes experience with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. She also brings experience related to military life and the stresses that can come with deployment and transitions. That perspective informs how she helps people rebuild routine and stability.
Therapy may include tools from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. EMDR is also part of her practice for those processing traumatic memories. Carrie adapts methods to each person’s needs and comfort level rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. People who want to start answer a short questionnaire, then schedule a time that works with the therapist. She uses the LCPC credential to indicate licensure as a counselor in Illinois.

Approaches for online healing and practical change
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on concrete skills and short-term plans.EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a method used to process traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. It guides people through remembering painful events while using specific bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of those memories.
Carrie approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to find what fits best. Together they set priorities, test practical tools, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Text and chat work well for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
