About Carrie
Carrie Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 17 years as a clinical social worker and 25 years total experience in social work. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, and depression. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills and improving emotional regulation.
Carrie uses straightforward approaches so people can see what to do between sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen and set goals together. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behavior patterns.
She also uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to set small, realistic steps toward change. Trauma-focused methods are available when past events are affecting current mood or reactions. These methods are presented plainly and used to tackle specific problems rather than label people.
In sessions Carrie helps people learn tools to manage strong feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and repair communication when anger causes problems. She works in short, practical exercises and talks through what the person can practice at home.
Her background in social work includes experience across ages and many settings. That experience informs how she supports people facing caregiving stress, grief around end-of-life, adoption and foster care topics, and challenges tied to autism or attachment. Language used in sessions is clear and direct to help busy adults apply skills quickly.
How Carrie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and setting goals together. Online work makes it easy to keep those goals visible and review progress between meetings. This approach helps when someone wants straightforward feedback and a plan they can use day to day.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and try different behaviors. In online sessions this looks like identifying patterns, practicing thought records, and setting homework to test new responses to anger or stress. Motivational Interviewing supports making small changes by exploring a person’s own reasons for change and building confidence through short steps.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then agree on methods to try. That collaborative process means methods can shift if something isn’t helping.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
