Carrie Follmar, LPC

Carrie Follmar is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She centers her work on each person’s strengths and believes people are the experts in their own stories. Carrie encourages practical steps toward a more satisfying life and offers steady support as people make changes.

Carrie often helps people dealing with ADHD and the ripple effects it can have at home, at work, and in personal relationships. She also addresses stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, and midlife transitions. Her focus includes blended family challenges, caregiver strain, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, where conversations follow the client’s lead and priorities. Carrie pairs this with Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete next steps. She also uses psychoeducation and practical skills when helpful.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, small experiments, and coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. Carrie aims to build a trusting working relationship and to offer straightforward feedback and tools her clients can try between meetings.

People who reach out often want help organizing their thoughts, managing impulsivity, easing family tension, or finding new direction in midlife. Carrie invites an open conversation about challenges and practical ways forward.

Approaches that guide online work and practical change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people sort priorities and feel heard while they decide what changes matter most.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. Rewriting parts of those stories can open up new choices for coping, identity, and direction during life transitions such as a midlife crisis.

Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, achievable steps and experiments. This approach is useful for managing ADHD-related challenges, workplace stress, and quick skill-building between meetings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Carrie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before scheduling since formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue therapy through job changes, moves, or other life disruptions while keeping the focus on practical coping and progress.
