About Carrie
Carrie Ellis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Carrie lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses and often helps people facing family of origin or adoption-related struggles.
Carrie uses an interactive, person-focused style in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective coping skills.
Her approach can include elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. EMDR is also part of the toolbox she mentions for processing traumatic memories. Carrie emphasizes practical strategies alongside reflective work about relational patterns and forgiveness.
She has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and attachment issues. People who want to address parenting challenges, family problems, or a sense of stuckness about life purpose may find her background relevant.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in Florida. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches fit with online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how those patterns show up now. Online work can include conversations about relationship history, noticing interaction styles, and trying new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities while reflecting and clarifying what comes up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. CBT tools translate easily to online work through worksheets, thought records, and in-session practice.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills training, processing difficult memories, or working through attachment patterns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can also combine reflective conversation with practical homework that fits into everyday routines.
