About

Here, you’ll learn more about Carrie Bock and the core values of By The Well Counseling.

Meet Carrie Bock, LPC-MHSP

I am a Christ follower, wife, and mother. I seek to bring a calm, compassionate, and hopeful approach to my practice. I am direct and transparent, ensuring no guessing games or hidden analyses. I believe in taking my own advice before sharing it with clients as we strive towards physical and emotional health together.  

I’ve been a licensed professional counselor since 2009, but I’m still learning every day. I’ve been practicing EMDR since 2013 and became an EMDR consultant in 2019, which is the highest level of training in EMDR. 

I also host the podcast “Christian Faith and OCD.” This started with a hesitant “yes” to God in 2020, and has grown into  a world wide ministry.

About my lived experience 

Do you have OCD?

This is a fair question because many counselors who treat OCD have experienced it in their own life. I have not. However, I can relate to anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, and depression that often come with OCD. 

Other things I have experienced:

  • Being a foster parent
  • Going through a divorce I didn’t want
  • Dating, marrying, having a child after all that
  • Rare medical diagnosis & advocacy (husband)

I’m not big on talking about myself during sessions because it’s your time, but I thought I would tell you here in case you can relate.
