About Carrie
Carrie Follmar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as ADHD, relationships, parenting, anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and the life changes many young adults face. Carrie centers work on strengths and practical steps rather than labels.
Her approach begins by treating the person as the expert on their own life. She uses a strengths-based, solution-oriented style and brings in cognitive behavioral ideas and psycho-education when they help. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Carrie often works with people who need a clearer understanding of ADHD and how it affects family life, school, and work. She has experience supporting students, family members, and employees as they adjust routines and expectations. She helps people sort priorities, reduce impulsivity, and manage caregiver stress.
In session she focuses on building a steady working relationship. Conversations move from what’s most pressing to concrete strategies for coping, organizing, and communicating better. She also helps navigate grief, relationship conflict, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
For young adults dealing with job changes, school transitions, or the pressure to figure things out, she offers practical tools and coaching to make progress. People should expect clear discussion, step-by-step problem solving, and guidance about managing day-to-day challenges.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means sessions begin with the client's perspective and goals, then move toward steps that the client chooses to take. It helps with feelings of insecurity, low self-esteem, and decisions about relationships.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. Sessions examine those stories and search for alternative, more useful ways to describe identity and control. This can be helpful for issues like grief, emptiness, and life purpose.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. The therapist and client identify concrete next steps and measure progress in short-term goals. This approach suits people who want tools for daily organization, coping with ADHD, and workplace or academic challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adapt techniques collaboratively. Clients help set the pace and direction of therapy based on what feels useful.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session choices before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around school, work, or caregiving duties, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the format that best fits your schedule and communication needs.
