About Carla

Carla Harrison is a Maryland licensed clinician with six years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She combines practical, evidence-informed strategies with a strengths-based perspective to help clients navigate life transitions, rebuild confidence, and clarify purpose. Carla acknowledges that each person knows their own story best, and she centers the client’s expertise while offering guidance, tools, and encouragement to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Holding an MD, which denotes a Doctor of Medicine, and an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Carla brings both clinical training and counseling experience to her practice. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify existing strengths and develop new coping skills for challenges like communication problems, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-love. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Carla provides steady support as clients explore goals, try different approaches, and work toward greater wellbeing.

Her approach is practical and compassionate, aimed at helping people strengthen resilience, manage symptoms, and find clearer direction during periods of change or recovery.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Carla uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom reduction. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and emotion regulation - teaching strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions so clients can function more effectively day to day. Another approach centers on trauma-aware methods that help people process and make sense of past hurt while restoring a sense of safety and self-compassion. A third strand of her work concentrates on strengthening self-esteem and purpose through goal setting and values-based exploration, which can aid those facing depression or life transitions.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Carla works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts techniques over time so the plan evolves with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Carla is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional times, letting clients access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging their entire day.
