About Carrie

Carrie Ellis is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She offers a calm, approachable presence and works with clients to set clear goals and practical steps. Carrie writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

Carrie draws on several therapeutic styles to match a person's needs. She uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build trust and focus on relationships.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools and dialectical behavior skills to teach coping strategies and change unhelpful thinking. EMDR is part of her approach when processing trauma and strong memories, used alongside other methods when appropriate. Sessions are collaborative - Carrie helps people make a plan and adjusts techniques as progress is made.

She tends to combine talking, skill practice, and guided interventions in a single session. With five years of practice as an LMHC in Florida, Carrie has helped people with adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and attachment questions. She also supports work on guilt, forgiveness, life purpose, and building self-love.

Carrie aims to be steady and encouraging through change. She invites people who are ready to take steps toward relief to begin a conversation and figure out a pathway that fits their life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and practicing new responses. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and building skills to manage mood and attention.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating to themselves and others. This approach can be helpful for adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and family of origin problems.

EMDR is used as one of several tools to process traumatic or distressing memories; it is integrated with other approaches when it fits a person's goals. Decisions about using EMDR are made collaboratively and paced to each person's readiness.

Carrie and clients work together to find the best approach, combining methods when useful and adjusting over time based on progress and personal preferences. She emphasizes collaboration in planning goals and choosing techniques that feel manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video sessions for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while keeping focus on practical skill building and processing difficult experiences.
