About Carrie
Carrie Follmar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She begins by listening and treating each person as the expert on their own life. Carrie emphasizes clients' strengths and helps them take practical steps toward clearer routines and better relationships.
She focuses heavily on issues tied to ADHD and the ways those challenges affect daily life and family dynamics. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to blended family issues, caregiver stress, family of origin patterns, and workplace concerns. Carrie uses a strengths-based, solution-minded style in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered principles to follow what matters most to the client and on Narrative Therapy to reframe unhelpful stories.
When useful, she adds cognitive-behavioral tools and psychoeducation to teach specific skills. In sessions she aims to build a solid working relationship and to offer clear, concrete strategies clients can try between meetings. She has experience supporting students, family members, and employees who need a better understanding of ADHD and its practical effects.
Carrie welcomes conversations about real-life challenges and focuses on helping people find workable steps forward. Her approach is collaborative, straightforward, and grounded in what helps each person move toward a more manageable and satisfying life.
How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify goals and make their own choices; this approach helps with confidence, self-esteem, and decision-making.Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem by examining the stories they tell about their lives. Rewriting those stories can reduce shame and open new possibilities for relationships, parenting, and life roles.
Carrie treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. If one technique doesn’t feel helpful, she adjusts course and tries a different way of working.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and coaching. Phone sessions can be easier on busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or follow-up between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into family schedules, work hours, and daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
