Carrie Holland-Lee, LCPC

Carrie Holland-Lee is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She centers each session on the person in front of her, treating clients as the expert on their own life and building on their strengths. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

With 11 years of experience, Carrie uses clear, practical strategies to address everyday problems like low self-esteem, motivation, sleep disruption, and anger. She also works with people navigating intimacy concerns, parenting stress, blended family issues, and non-traditional sexual cultures such as kink and polyamory. Conversation stays grounded and focused on real next steps rather than jargon.

Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions emphasize listening, validation, and collaborative goal-setting, alongside skill-building to change unhelpful thinking and habits. Sessions typically look like a mix of talking, problem-solving, and trying small experiments between meetings.

People often seek her help for relationship problems, infidelity, communication breakdowns, prejudice and discrimination stress, career transitions, and challenges common to young adults and women. Carrie also supports those working on self-love and coping with life changes.

She offers services in English and practices in Maryland. If someone is ready to start, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How Carrie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, validates feelings, and helps set goals based on what matters most to the client. This approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to sort through emotions and decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress that affects daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals evolve and new issues come up.
