Rae Carnevale

Rae Carnevale, LPC, is a licensed mental health clinician based in Colorado. She spends her practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Rae aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters to them and build practical skills for everyday life.

Rae uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills. She focuses on practical tools that can be used between sessions, such as coping strategies for overwhelming feelings and steps for improving communication. Sessions emphasize collaboration - the client’s goals guide the plan.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience in Southern Colorado. Rae often supports people dealing with career stress, identity questions, grief, and seasonal mood changes. She also addresses concerns related to impulsivity, personality challenges, and intellectual disability in individual work when relevant to a person’s needs.

Rae schedules sessions in the evenings on weekdays and on weekends to help fit therapy into busy lives. She describes therapy as a step-by-step process and works with each person to build resilience and self-awareness over time.

To begin, Rae asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. She works in English and practices under her Colorado LPC credential.

How Rae's approaches translate to online therapy

Rae uses client-centered therapy to meet people where they are. This approach focuses on listening and following the client's goals so sessions respond to what feels most important in someone's life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practices small, specific changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy skills teach concrete strategies for handling intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive actions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rae will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending client-centered conversation with CBT techniques or adding DBT skills practice as needed. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Rae does note evening and weekend session times to help fit therapy into busy schedules. Online care can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or other obligations, and it can reduce travel time and logistical barriers.
