Carrie Becker, LISW, helps adults across Ohio build resilience, restore balance, and move toward meaningful change through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care at LifeStance Health. She provides individual therapy for adults and seniors throughout OH, supporting clients who are ready to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use concerns with clarity and confidence.

Carrie specializes in helping people in recovery and individuals with a history of trauma.

With a steady and nonjudgmental presence, she partners with clients to process trauma safely, strengthen coping skills, and create sustainable recovery. Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns, regulate emotions, and reconnect with their values.

In addition to her work in recovery and trauma, Carrie supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, gender identity exploration, and women’s issues. She has experience serving members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as men and women seeking affirming, culturally responsive care. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, emphasizing practical tools, emotional insight, and measurable progress.

Since beginning her clinical practice in 2016, Carrie has remained committed to social work values and social justice, believing that mental health care should be both empowering and equitable. She brings warmth and authenticity to the therapeutic relationship, fostering a space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood.

Outside of sessions, Carrie recharges by walking in nature and spending time in quiet reflection. She enjoys reading cozy mysteries, crocheting, and engaging in creative projects that encourage patience and mindfulness—practices that mirror the steady, thoughtful care she brings to her clients.
