About Carrell
Carrell Frederick is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression, and those wanting to develop more self-love.
She takes a practical approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how patterns show up, and what small steps can reduce tension and reactivity. Sessions aim to teach skills that can be used between meetings, such as noticing triggers and practicing different responses.
Carrell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That work often includes testing new ways of thinking and trying out behavioral experiments to see what changes. Over time clients typically gain clearer habits for managing stress and mood.
She describes her work as attentive to cultural background and life context. Identity and lived experience are part of how she frames problems and solutions. The therapist listens for strengths and past coping so those can be built on during treatment.
Sessions are focused and goal-oriented while staying conversational. Clients leave with concrete practices to use in daily life. The tone is direct and practical, aimed at helping people reduce angry outbursts, limit cycles of shame, and increase steady self-regard.
How CBT-based work translates to online sessions
Carrell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety.The therapist frames exercises as hands-on learning. That may include tracking triggers, trying short behavioral experiments, and practicing alternative responses between sessions. These steps are concrete ways to reduce reactivity and build steadier self-regard.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques if something feels unhelpful and prioritizing what the client wants to change first.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so people can focus on skill practice. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients apply CBT tools in everyday situations.
