Carrie Holland-Lee , MD, LCPC

Carrie Holland-Lee is a Maryland-based clinician with 11 years of practice experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and confidence. She positions clients as the experts of their own stories and aims to offer steady support as people make difficult changes. Carrie works with adults on issues that include parenting, career shifts, sleeping problems, and intimacy-related concerns including BDSM and kink topics.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, so sessions often balance listening and reflection with practical skill-building. People can expect space to tell their story, plus concrete strategies to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The therapist pays attention to how identity and prejudice affect daily life, and she addresses LGBT concerns and women's issues with sensitivity.

Carrie also works with people facing blended family challenges, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics like polyamory. She helps individuals sort through family problems and relationship choices without judgment. Work can range from short-term skill coaching to longer exploration of patterns that keep repeating.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Carrie uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

Her training is listed as MD and LCPC, which indicates medical and licensed clinical professional counselor credentials. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability by selecting the Start Therapy button.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people feel understood. In this approach the therapist reflects what a person says and follows their lead so clients can clarify goals and make choices that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes because it gives practical tools to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carrie will work with each person to figure out what combination of listening, exploration, and skills practice fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that helps rapport. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection, quick questions, and scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
