About Carrie
Carrie Holland-Lee is an LCPC licensed in Maryland with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation and confidence. She also supports issues related to intimacy and sexual diversity, including BDSM and kink topics. Sessions are conducted in English.
Carrie focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then tests small changes to see what works. Conversations are centered on the client's goals and day-to-day functioning rather than only on theory.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed distress. She pairs that with client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own perspective and choices. Together these approaches guide clear behavior changes and skill building.
She commonly addresses relationship communication, blended family challenges, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationships in concrete ways. She also works on sleep problems, anger, parenting stresses, career questions, and coping with life changes. Carrie helps people find manageable steps to reduce distress and improve interactions with others.
Before a first session she asks people to clarify their main priorities so initial meetings are focused and practical. The early work often includes short experiments, simple cognitive tools, and concrete communication exercises. Over time the plan is revised to match what proves helpful.
How CBT and client-centered work in online sessions
Online sessions with Carrie use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then trying small experiments to change them; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Client-centered work emphasizes the client's own perspective and choices, helping build plans that feel doable and respectful of personal goals.Carrie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about goals, test techniques, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. That collaboration helps keep sessions focused and practical rather than theoretical.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around daily life and fewer barriers to fitting sessions into a week. Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online meetings can make it simpler to try short check-ins, practice communication exercises between partners, or complete brief CBT homework without needing long travel time.
