About Carrie
Carrie Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years as a clinical social worker and a total of 25 years in social work. She focuses on helping people build practical coping skills and better manage strong emotions. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship struggles, and depression.
Carrie aims for straightforward, usable strategies in conversations. She listens first, then helps set small, concrete goals. Many people come to her wanting help with emotional regulation and better day-to-day coping techniques.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience across community and clinical settings in North Carolina. That history informs how she supports people facing loss, major life transitions, caregiving strain, or stress from adoption and foster care situations. She also has experience with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and end-of-life and hospice challenges.
In sessions she draws from several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Client-Centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person's needs and strengths.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused strategies help people set realistic next steps and stay engaged. Her work also addresses trauma-related reactions and recovery, including post-traumatic stress and disruptive mood challenges. Carrie uses simple tools and step-by-step plans so people can practice new skills between meetings.
She offers services in English from North Carolina and works with people across a range of life stages and concerns.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means sessions center on what matters most to the client and build on their strengths to set realistic steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought and try different actions to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress and includes simple exercises to practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining CBT tools with motivational interviewing techniques to boost commitment to change and solution-focused steps for quick, actionable goals.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when video would be difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, journaling-style support, or planning between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to try different formats as needs change.
