About Carol
Carol Holder is a licensed counselor based in North Carolina with 15 years of professional experience. She holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) credentials. She speaks English and aims to meet people where they are with respectful, sensitive care.
Carol focuses on common and often overwhelming concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also helps people dealing with parenting strain, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her work is practical and grounded in everyday needs.
Her approach is collaborative. She tailors conversations and a treatment plan to each person's situation. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings, not just talk about feelings.
Carol uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to build coping skills, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen motivation for change.
She encourages people to reach out when they feel ready. The first step is often the hardest, and she aims to offer steady support as people make changes that matter to them.
How Carol’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy is built around listening and responding to each person's goals. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and the therapist follows the person's lead to set priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often includes learning specific skills and small experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, or stress.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Carol partners with people to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can happen around work or family schedules. Many people find that video or phone sessions help keep momentum between appointments, while still allowing for focused skill practice and problem solving.
