About Carla
Carla Harrison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) licensed in Maryland with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next after a life change. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and adjusting to major changes.
Carla focuses on practical conversations and straightforward steps. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying small changes, and trying out different ways to cope when stress or shame feels heavy.
She pays particular attention to issues around communication, guilt, and finding purpose in life. If someone is questioning career direction, meaning after a relationship change, or struggling with motivation, Carla helps people sort through options and set manageable goals. Work often includes clarifying values and testing new behaviors in everyday life.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients notice what already works and what gets in the way. The focus is on making changes that fit each person’s routine and responsibilities.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Carla uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people notice and shift negative thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms by experimenting with different responses in daily life. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic events and difficult feelings through paced, supportive conversation so memories and reactions become easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carla will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and what feels like a poor fit, and adjusts plans together as progress is made.
The therapist’s biography does not list which online formats she uses, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from a convenient location and reduce the time needed for appointments, which can make regular work on life purpose and coping more manageable.
