About Carla
Carla Lee is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with four years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She lists additional focus areas that include workplace issues, social anxiety and phobia, communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and mood disorders.
Carla uses a mix of structured and conversational methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems, and client-centered techniques as part of her approach.
Sessions tend to involve setting clear goals, learning small skills to manage distress, and practicing new responses between meetings. Clients can expect straightforward strategies for coping with anxiety, mood swings, and stressful life events. The emphasis is on practical steps rather than long lectures.
Carla says her practice is informed by Christian values and she respects the role faith can play in people’s lives. She combines that perspective with psychotherapy methods when clients indicate it is relevant to their goals.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Carla integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors with small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, social phobia, mood problems, and workplace stress. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and learning to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective and pace. Finding the best approach is collaborative: she and the client review goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. The plan can mix skills training, short experiments between sessions, and reflective conversation depending on what fits the client's needs.
Session logistics are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. The therapist and client will discuss which session rhythm and practical arrangements fit the client's schedule and goals.
