About Carrie
Carrie Ellis is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and trauma. She works with individuals struggling with parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and attention challenges. Her tone is warm and approachable and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable.
Carrie blends straightforward, evidence-based strategies with a focus on relationships and emotional safety. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps people build small, practical steps toward their goals.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness skills, breathing techniques, and thought-focused exercises to help reduce worry and increase calm. For people coping with past hurts, Carrie uses methods that address how trauma can affect the body and relationships. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that started in family relationships and still show up today.
When needed, she incorporates techniques aimed at shifting upsetting memories and reactions. Sessions move at a pace set by the client. Carrie helps parents sort through daily struggles and offers tools to manage caregiver stress.
She also supports people working through guilt, shame, life purpose questions, and complex family-of-origin issues. With five years of clinical experience, Carrie combines practical skill-building with a respectful, compassionate approach. She works in English and practices as an FL LMHC.
People can expect a steady, collaborative therapist who focuses on clear steps and emotional understanding.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and tackle ADHD-related challenges.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. This approach helps people understand why certain reactions come up in close relationships and offers ways to build more supported interactions and emotional connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and needs change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows visual connection and longer therapeutic work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use practical tools between sessions.
