About Carol
Carol Holder is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in North Carolina with 15 years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen and on DBT skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
In sessions she talks through current problems and works on small, concrete steps to try between meetings. That might include noticing thought patterns, testing different responses, or practicing coping skills. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help clients find their own reasons for change.
Carol frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She helps people set clear goals and checks progress regularly. Sessions aim to be straightforward and task-oriented, with time for reflection and problem solving.
People who choose her often want a structured, step-by-step way to manage symptoms and daily challenges. She invites clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How Carol uses structured approaches in online sessions
Carol commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to provide attentive listening and to prioritize the client’s perspective. This approach helps people feel heard while they decide which changes to try. When emotions run high, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added to teach specific techniques for regulating feelings and managing distress.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way the work stays focused on the client’s needs and daily routines.
