About Carrie

Carrie Holland-Lee brings 11 years of clinical experience to people seeking support with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges around intimacy and sexual identity.

Background and approach

She practices in Maryland and approaches each person as the expert on their own life, helping them draw on their strengths to move toward the changes they want. Carrie emphasizes empowerment and practical progress, recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage and intention.

Her work blends client-centered values with cognitive behavioral methods to help clients explore patterns, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and develop concrete skills for coping. In addition to core concerns like parenting, sleep difficulties, and anger, she has focused experience with areas such as non-monogamous relationships, blended family dynamics, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and prejudice-related harm.

Carrie holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and she tailors sessions to each person’s goals while offering supportive guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Approaches and Accessibility in Online Practice

Clients who choose Carrie can expect therapy grounded in client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist offers understanding and supports clients in finding their own solutions; it helps people build confidence and clarity about their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Carrie works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, and she adapts techniques over time so the approach fits the client's needs rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These formats make it easier to continue care from Maryland and allow therapy to fit into busy lives, supporting consistent progress through regular check-ins and skill-building exercises.
