Carolee Binette, LMHC

Carolee Binette is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people facing trauma, parenting stress, anger, depression, and ADHD. She presents as direct and down-to-earth, aiming to create a practical space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for those who are unsure how to start therapy.

With 14 years of experience, she has worked across children, adolescents, and adult settings and has taken leadership roles in children’s and family mental health programs. That background informs her work with emotional and behavioral difficulties, relationship strain, and the long-term effects of trauma and emotional abuse. She has also contributed to efforts that bring mental health support to first responders and law enforcement calls.

Her sessions are conversational and focused on real problems. She favors clear, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. Carolee draws from cognitive behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and other evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts those methods to each person’s needs.

She aims to help people recognize patterns, make manageable changes, and reconnect with what feels authentic. The process is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Carolee emphasizes honesty, approachability, and working at a pace that fits each person.

If someone is juggling caregiving responsibilities or feeling isolated from stress, Carolee includes caregiver issues and related concerns in her work. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake steps to match with a therapist and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Carolee uses a few evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what changes. This can help with mood symptoms, anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related patterns. Humanistic methods emphasize understanding values and the person’s authentic self, supporting clients who feel lost or disconnected. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring relationship and attachment patterns that influence current feelings and choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then tailor techniques over time. This makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer audio-only check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. The therapist will help identify what works best for day-to-day life and clinical goals.
