Carrie Ross

Carrie Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on 17 years of clinical licensure to guide people through stressful life moments. She focuses on building practical coping skills, helping people manage emotion and supporting them as they make changes. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for those who need steady help.

She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals at the center of each session. That often means listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and shaping goals together rather than imposing a plan.

Carrie also brings cognitive behavioral techniques into sessions to help people notice patterns of thought and try new coping behaviors. That approach is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and anger to turn small changes into clearer day-to-day relief.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods appear in her work when people want short-term momentum toward a specific goal. These approaches help break big problems into manageable steps and draw out the person’s own motivation to change.

Over her career she has helped people facing grief, relationship challenges, caregiving strain, and eating and food-related issues, among other concerns. She has experience across a wide range of life stages and situations and aims to help people make steady, usable progress.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to get paired and then schedule a session based on availability. This process helps match needs and practical timing before the first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy invites the therapist to follow the person’s lead, listening closely and shaping goals together to match what matters most. This approach supports a calm, steady conversation about stress, relationships, grief, or eating and food-related concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress and gives concrete tools people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods to offer meaningful, goal-focused therapy in ways that fit everyday schedules.
