About Carmen
Carmen Cripps Looney is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience helping people through hard times. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and mood disorders. Many come when panic attacks start to interfere with daily life or when past trauma keeps returning.
Carmen focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space. She listens closely and moves at each person’s pace. Sessions emphasize practical steps that can reduce distress and build coping skills you can use between meetings.
Her work addresses guilt, shame, and the search for forgiveness. Carmen also helps people understand attachment wounds and how they influence relationships and emotional patterns. She incorporates established, evidence-based techniques while keeping conversations clear and grounded.
Clients often bring complex histories such as post-traumatic stress or bipolar mood swings. Carmen aims to break problems into manageable pieces and to teach tools for stability and resilience. She pays attention to personal values and, when relevant, how faith fits into healing.
Carmen is based in Georgia and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She draws on 16 years of clinical practice to tailor care to each person’s goals and daily life.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Many of the techniques Carmen uses are evidence-based and focus on real skills people can use every day. One common approach she uses teaches breathing and grounding exercises plus stepwise exposure to reduce panic responses; this helps people feel less overwhelmed during sudden anxiety. Another approach emphasizes working through shame and guilt while building healthier attachment patterns; it helps people change how they relate to themselves and others. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carmen will listen to your goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your needs. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so you and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using. Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins possible when needed.
