Carrie Holland-Lee

Carrie Holland-Lee is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard and start taking practical steps forward.

Carrie believes each person knows their story best. She looks for strengths in everyday life and helps build on them. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments to try between meetings, and honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change.

Her approach combines a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens first, then offers tools to test unhelpful thoughts and patterns. People often bring concerns about self-esteem, sleep, parenting stress, or workplace strain, and Carrie helps translate insights into manageable actions.

She also works with issues related to trauma, identity, and relationship challenges including communication problems, blended family dynamics, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship questions. Additional interests include women's issues, young adult transitions, kink and BDSM culture, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.

Carrie aims to partner with people who want to feel more steady and in control of their lives. She supports clients as they try new ways of coping and adjust plans when needed.

How Carrie’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspectives. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports people to make choices that feel right. This helps when someone needs to clarify values, decide on big changes, or find steady support through life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Carrie uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build routines that improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carrie will work with each person to figure out what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so sessions stay focused and practical.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to support steady progress while keeping therapy aligned with everyday life.
