About Carolee
Carolee Binette is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, depression, and ADHD. Carolee also addresses guilt and shame alongside issues like attachment, abandonment, body image, and isolation.
She takes a direct, down-to-earth approach. Conversations are practical and honest. Sessions focus on uncovering patterns, making sense of feelings, and helping people name what they carry so decisions feel clearer.
Carolee has worked in children’s and family mental health programs and has experience bringing a mental health presence to first responder scenes. That background informs how she thinks about crisis, stress, and long-term emotional strain. She uses what she’s learned to help people sort through complicated histories and current demands.
Her clinical work draws on cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic ideas along with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She adapts those methods to fit a person’s life and concerns rather than relying on a single formula. Sessions may include talking through past events, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and trying different ways to respond in relationships.
People who come to Carolee for guilt or shame often focus on family, faith, parenting, or choices they regret. She aims to help people articulate those feelings, understand their effects, and find practical steps to reduce daily weight so coping becomes more manageable.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Carolee draws from cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas presented in plain, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and day-to-day reactions. Psychodynamic approaches pay attention to recurring patterns and past relationships, helping people understand where guilt and shame began and how they repeat today.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the person to decide which techniques fit their goals and circumstances, and adjustments can be made as progress is observed. This means trying things, checking what helps, and shifting focus when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. They can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy level, such as a video conversation or a phone check-in, depending on what the therapist offers and what the client prefers.
