Caralee Crary , LPC

Caralee Crary brings 20 years of clinical experience as a licensed counselor who helps people navigate life transitions, relationships, and emotional challenges. She approaches therapy with the belief that individuals move through life stages with opportunities to learn and sometimes relearn important lessons, and she partners with clients to build self-awareness, practical skills, and insight to manage those changes.

Working with adult couples, Caralee focuses on relationship patterns, communication, and intimacy across the lifespan. She also works with children and teens to support their social, emotional, educational, and family functioning, and she assists adults who are clarifying goals around education, work, independence, self-esteem, and healthier relationships.

Her formal training includes psychodynamic therapy and object relations, complemented by specialized cognitive-behavioral training received at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado. This combination allows her to address observable behaviors and thought patterns while also exploring deeper emotional themes and relational patterns. Caralee uses a range of clinical approaches - from attachment-based and emotionally focused methods to ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, trauma-focused, somatic, psychodynamic, and systemic techniques - tailoring interventions to each person or couple.

Caralee describes her style as collaborative and experiential - she offers direct, useful feedback while honoring each client’s pace of growth. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space for exploring difficult topics that people often find hard to raise. Personal life experiences contributed to her decision to become a therapist and continue to inform her empathic approach.

Caralee holds MEd and MA degrees and is credentialed as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Her listed credentials also include NCP. Outside of her work she is married with two children and enjoys reading, gardening, music, yoga and walking, time in nature, and films.

Could Remote Therapy Fit Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions - online therapy can serve as a practical and effective option comparable to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that works best for them - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, handle caregiving or work commitments, and maintain continuity of care when travel or relocation is a factor.

Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote formats, and many people appreciate the ability to switch therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For those considering therapy, remote options expand access and offer multiple ways to engage with skilled therapists while accommodating varied lifestyles and needs.
