Carrie Ellis, LMHC

Carrie Ellis is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and attention difficulties. Carrie works in English and sees clients in Florida.

Carrie uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-focused and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills, clear goals, and small, manageable steps to change day-to-day patterns.

She also draws on mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, and EMDR when they fit a person's needs. That means clients may practice coping skills, learn ways to regulate emotions, and, when appropriate, work on processing traumatic memories. Carrie discusses options and explains what each method involves before trying it.

Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness while supporting clearer thinking about life purpose and self-regard.

Sessions are collaborative and structured. Carrie helps set goals, tracks progress, and adjusts the plan as needed. People who prefer a practical, skills-based approach will find a clear focus on changing thinking and behavior that gets in the way of daily functioning.
