About Carrie
Carrie Holland-Lee is a licensed clinician in Maryland who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, and parenting concerns. She draws on 11 years of experience to support people facing depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life changes. Carrie approaches therapy with a respectful, down-to-earth style that centers the client's experience.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations that highlight their strengths. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and asks questions to clarify goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer thinking rather than rely on jargon. Carrie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools. That mix lets her listen deeply while also suggesting small, testable steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She uses plain language and concrete exercises you can try between meetings. Her practice also addresses areas such as intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, anger, and career concerns. Carrie has experience with topics that include LGBT issues, blended family dynamics, and non-monogamous relationships, and she is open to discussing diverse sexual cultures like BDSM and kink when relevant to a client's goals.
People who choose Carrie often want practical guidance paired with compassionate support. She helps clients set achievable goals, notice progress, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that fit different schedules.

How Carrie Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Carrie uses client-centered therapy to listen and respond to each person's unique story. This approach focuses on understanding your goals, reflecting your experience, and helping you feel heard and respected. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of emotions or decisions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT offers practical strategies to test new ways of thinking and to build small habits that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change reaction patterns. These techniques are useful for concerns like stress, mood, and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means the style of sessions can shift if different tools seem more helpful over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to give flexibility so people can access consistent support around work, parenting, and busy schedules.
