About Carrie
Carrie Ellis is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She writes and talks plainly with clients and aims to create a supportive, respectful space for people to work toward clearer goals. Her style is warm and interactive and she focuses on practical steps as well as understanding feelings.
Carrie blends Client-Centered Therapy with attachment-based ideas to shape a plan that fits each person. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR as tools when they match a client’s needs. Sessions are collaborative - she works alongside people to set goals and try out new ways of coping.
Her background includes five years of clinical practice as an LMHC in Florida. She has experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and family of origin problems. She also supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
Carrie emphasizes practical skill building alongside emotional processing. That can mean learning strategies to manage anxiety, trying simple mindfulness practices, or using EMDR for trauma when appropriate. She encourages steady progress and clear steps rather than vague promises.
If someone is ready to try therapy, Carrie aims to offer steady support, encouragement, and partnership through the process.
How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Carrie uses Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and prioritize each person’s goals. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what someone says, and helping them feel understood so they can decide next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and to practice new ways of connecting and regulating emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she draws on to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new coping behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and many everyday problems where changing thoughts and actions can ease symptoms. Carrie approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to choose the approaches that fit their needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to continue care during transitions. Carrie will help decide the best mix of techniques and session cadence to match goals and daily routines.
