About Carrie

Carrie Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people learn coping skills and manage strong emotions. She draws on 17 years as an LCSW and a longer career in social work to provide steady support for common life struggles. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and relationship concerns.

She also brings experience with adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges linked to attachment or autism.

Background and approach

Practical help is a consistent aim in her work. In sessions she uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods. That means talking through what causes distress, trying small changes, and building new habits that reduce symptoms.

She helps people learn emotional regulation and everyday coping tools they can use between meetings. Carrie uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work when appropriate. She adapts techniques to each person’s situation rather than following a single formula.

Her background includes many years in social work and nearly two decades licensed as a clinical social worker in North Carolina. Carrie offers support in English and aims to make therapy practical and understandable. If someone wants help sorting through grief, stress, or relationship strain she focuses on clear next steps and manageable goals.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help identify what matters most and what small changes might help. This approach is useful for relationship strain, grief, and persistent low mood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small experiments to change them. It often involves simple exercises to practice between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Carrie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one technique.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
