About Caralee

Caralee Crary is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She blends thoughtful listening with practical guidance to help people name what matters and take steps forward. Caralee prefers a collaborative style where goals are set together and progress is checked along the way.

She draws on Existential therapy to help people face questions about meaning, choice, and purpose. That work often pairs with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior.

Background and approach

Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches shape how she supports emotional connection and self-understanding. Caralee works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, and parenting strains. She also focuses on more specific struggles including abandonment, attachment challenges, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues around kink and alternative sex culture.

Her background includes formal training in psychodynamic approaches and additional cognitive-behavioral training from university programs. Caralee emphasizes both insight into deeper feelings and concrete skill-building for everyday life. Her manner is direct but nonjudgmental, offering clear feedback while respecting each person’s pace.

Outside of work she enjoys reading, gardening, music, yoga and walks with family. Caralee practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

How different approaches work online

Existential therapy helps people sit with big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. Online sessions can provide space to name values and clarify life direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing inner experience and choosing actions that match values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck by teaching practical exercises to use between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and teaches ways to feel and respond differently in connection and conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then try techniques that fit. This means sessions may blend approaches over time so people get both understanding and tools that work for them.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and use worksheets together. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break from work. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, homework feedback, and staying engaged between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
