Devin Carrera,BA

Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern

I am a graduate counseling intern pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology and am passionate about helping college students and young adults navigate the challenges of mental health, personal growth, and life transitions.

My clinical interests include men’s mental health, anxiety and stress management, self-esteem, and sports and performance concerns. I enjoy helping individuals develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and healthy coping skills. I believe counseling can be a meaningful space for clients to explore their experiences, identify their strengths, and work toward a more fulfilling life.

For clients who desire it, I welcome the opportunity to integrate faith and spirituality into the counseling process. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where each person feels heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

Therapeutic Approaches

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
