Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Carolee Binette has been in practice 14 years and is licensed in Florida. Carolee lists trauma and abuse, parenting issues and anger management among 20 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Carolee's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Carolee works with
Carolee lists 5 specialisms and 15 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Carolee chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

Welcome. I’m a straightforward, down-to-earth therapist with more than 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, crisis, ADHD, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, and major life transitions. I have worked with first responders and to assist law enforcement to offer a mental health presence during active calls. My goal is to partner with you as you uncover, understand, and honor your authentic self. Human beings spend an astonishing amount of energy trying to become someone else, so we might as well put some of that effort toward figuring out who you already are.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with extensive experience providing both direct clinical services and leadership within children’s and family mental health programs. I have worked with clients experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties, relationship struggles, and the lasting effects of trauma and emotional abuse.
My approach to therapy is warm, interactive, and grounded in real conversation. I believe in keeping things honest, practical, and approachable while meeting clients where they are. Therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly, explore new perspectives, and work toward meaningful goals.
Drawing from cognitive behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and other evidence-based approaches, I tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and experiences. No two people arrive with the same story, and no one benefits from feeling like they’ve been handed the same worksheet as everyone else. Humans are wonderfully complicated that way.
Reaching out for help is not always easy, and taking that first step requires courage. Congratulations on beginning that journey.
I look forward to working with you.

03 · What happens next
Carolee practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Carolee's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Carolee at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Carolee is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Carolee.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Carolee actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Carolee's - Carolee has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Carolee's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Carolee. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
