About Carrie
Carrie Ellis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Carrie writes plainly and focuses on practical ways to change patterns that started in childhood, including family of origin issues and attachment concerns.
Her work blends client-centered and attachment-based approaches with cognitive behavioral tools. In sessions she talks through current problems and traces how old family roles and expectations still affect daily life. She uses mindfulness skills and DBT strategies to manage strong emotions and improve coping.
Carrie also incorporates EMDR when trauma memories are part of the difficulty and uses methods that support parenting and caregiver stress. She has experience with adoption and foster care issues and with blended family dynamics. Goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Expect to learn concrete skills, practice them between meetings, and reflect on how family patterns repeat in relationships and work. Carrie aims to help people gain clearer boundaries, reduce overstimulation, and rebuild steady routines.
She works in English and practices within Florida as an LMHC. If the idea of understanding family patterns and changing how they affect your life matters to you, she guides that practical work step by step.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations in adult life. In online sessions this looks like talking about patterns learned from caregivers and developing new ways of relating that feel steadier. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and priorities; the therapist listens, reflects, and follows what matters most to the client so goals come from the client rather than a preset plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and routines; online work often uses short exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice to test new behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That plan can change over time based on what helps most in practice.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into their week, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and make it simpler to use tools and worksheets together. If trauma processing such as EMDR is considered, the clinician will discuss how that work is planned and paced to match comfort and readiness.
