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 in social work overall. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and depression and offers practical help for those problems. She works in English and does not take international clients.
Ross helps people develop coping skills and improve emotional regulation. She uses straightforward talk and action steps to reduce irritability and shut down escalating reactions. Sessions can include looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger alive and practicing small changes that lower daily stress.
Her background includes long experience across age groups in social work settings. That history informs how she talks about caregiving strain, aging and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and hospice or end-of-life counseling. She also addresses attachment issues, autism-related challenges, and isolation or loneliness.
She draws from several approaches including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques. That mix is used to help people with complex problems such as post-traumatic stress, disruptive mood dysregulation, eating and food-related issues, guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
To start, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. The first meetings typically focus on clear, doable steps to reduce anger and build better daily coping.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, clarifying what matters most, and setting goals the client chooses. It is useful when someone wants a practical, respectful conversation about anger and related stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts and habits that fuel irritation and anger. In online sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing different responses, and assigning brief exercises between meetings to test changes.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence about change. It is practical for someone who wants to cut down on snapping or avoidant behaviors by building motivation and small steps forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That choice can change over time as progress or new needs emerge.
Confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools remotely to focus on reducing anger, improving coping skills, and supporting everyday changes.
