About Carol
Carol Holder is a licensed therapist in North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and related concerns. Her approach is straightforward and respectful.
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and adapts conversations and plans as progress unfolds.
Carol uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person and their values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and managing intense feelings. She often helps people work through relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar management, and the stress of life change.
She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and attention-related difficulties like ADHD. Conversations are practical and aim to build skills people can use between sessions.
Carol encourages people who are feeling stuck to reach out. The first steps are small and taken at the client’s pace.
She partners with clients to create an individualized plan and checks in regularly to make adjustments.
Online tools and therapy approaches that help
Carol uses client-centered therapy to make sessions about the person and their priorities. That approach means conversations follow the client’s concerns and values so therapy stays relevant to daily life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms and improve coping during life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carol will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust approaches based on what helps. She aims to collaborate on a plan that matches needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make regular care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or work through tools in writing. These options are chosen to increase access and flexibility while supporting steady progress.
