About Carrie
Carrie Ellis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. Carrie also notes an interest in life purpose as one of her focus areas.
Carrie uses a direct, interactive way of working. Sessions often involve talking through current problems and noticing how past relationships shape present reactions. She draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to explore patterns in relationships and emotional responses.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Carrie also includes EMDR when processing traumatic memories is appropriate and agreed upon.
In practical terms, clients can expect collaborative planning. Goals and steps are discussed together so people know what to try between sessions. Carrie pays attention to family of origin and adoption-related history when that material is relevant to the issues at hand.
Her background highlights work with parenting problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and post-traumatic stress. She describes therapy as an active process that involves effort and regular check-ins on progress. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Florida LMHC practice standards.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can look at patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating by discussing real examples and rehearsing responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; online meetings allow for in-session practice of thought records and behavioral experiments that fit into daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted as progress or new issues appear so the work stays relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work breaks, reduce time spent traveling, and make it easier to follow through on between-session tasks. Other practical benefits include the ability to use screen-shared worksheets, practice skills in real time, and schedule shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Carrie conducts sessions in English and uses her LMHC practice to guide online clinical work.
