About Carrie

Carrie Ellis is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She offers a calm, warm presence and aims to make conversations feel approachable and useful. Carrie writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care to build trusting conversation. Carrie also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new habits.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her work for people coping with traumatic memories. Carrie typically starts by listening to what matters most and then co-creates a clear plan. Sessions often include skill practice, gentle exposure to difficult memories, and ways to improve daily routines.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes five years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns such as ADHD, post-traumatic stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, and caregiver strain. Carrie emphasizes respect and compassion in every conversation and helps people reconnect with self-worth and purpose.

She frames therapy as collaborative work. If someone is ready to try new ways of coping, Carrie supports them through the steps and helps them track what works and what needs adjusting.

Online support

Attachment-informed and skills-based therapy online

Carrie draws on attachment-based ideas to focus on how relationships shape feelings and patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way and try new ways of connecting or relating. It can be useful for those wrestling with attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, or long-standing family-of-origin patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and attention challenges. EMDR is another option she offers for people who are processing traumatic memories and need a structured way to work through distressing experiences.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as progress unfolds. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try and when to shift course.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and eye contact. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexible communication without needing to be on camera.
