About Carrie
Carrie Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people build coping skills and manage strong emotions. She draws on 17 years as a licensed clinical social worker and a longer career in social work to support people facing stress, grief, anxiety, and depression.
Carrie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people learn emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm, and develop everyday strategies that fit their life. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, caregiver stress, isolation, and the effects of trauma or major loss.
Her background includes work across a range of life stages and needs, including adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, autism spectrum issues, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Carrie also addresses eating and food-related challenges, forgiveness and guilt, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
In sessions she draws from client-centered methods and trauma-focused approaches, and pairs these with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when clients are weighing change or difficult decisions.
She practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead in sessions. The therapist creates space for people to talk about what matters most and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, relationship issues, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses concrete tools and short practice tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with the person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as needs change.
If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use approaches like CBT exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and client-centered talk in ways that match their schedule and daily routines.
