About Carrie
Carrie Zielinski is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with low mood, or facing difficulties after trauma and abuse. She focuses on helping clients grow confidence and improve relationships.
Carrie centers sessions on the person in front of her. She assumes people know their story and brings tools to help them make changes. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work addresses common patterns like attachment and abandonment fears, control and impulsivity problems, and social anxiety. She also helps with life-stage pressures such as pregnancy and the challenges that come after childbirth. Money worries, isolation, and questions about life purpose are treated alongside mood and stress concerns.
Therapy usually blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness with client-centered listening. Motivational interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to support readiness for change and values-based goals. The result is a flexible mix tailored to each person's needs.
Sessions aim to rebuild self-esteem, improve communication, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Carrie encourages small steps and celebrates progress along the way. Taking that first step is noted as an important act of courage.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and persistent avoidance by teaching practical skills for showing up even when things feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches simple experiments to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and helping people feel understood so they can find their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then use one or more approaches that fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process where strategies are adjusted as progress is made and circumstances change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions are helpful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can serve as short check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to match therapy to a client’s routine and communication style.
