About Carrie
Carrie Holland-Lee is a Maryland licensed clinician with 11 years of experience who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with adults on relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Carrie approaches each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building practical skills and personal strengths.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She listens first and then helps clients set small, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through current problems and practicing new ways to cope. Carrie aims to make progress feel realistic instead of overwhelming. Carrie uses client-centered methods to make sure people feel heard.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. These tools are used together to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. She has worked across a range of concerns, including intimacy and relationship questions, sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, and career decisions.
Carrie is familiar with issues related to LGBT identity, prejudice and discrimination, and non-traditional relationship styles such as polyamory and kink culture. She helps people untangle communication problems, blended family challenges, and infidelity issues. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with practical steps.
Carrie supports young adults and women navigating self-love and confidence, and she helps people cope with grief, change, and motivation struggles. Her work is aimed at steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It helps people feel understood and builds on their existing strengths to guide decisions and change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process can include trying techniques from both client-centered work and CBT and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling-style reflections, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options aim to make ongoing therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
