Carllee Hitt (she/her)

I am a Resident in Counseling in Virginia with experience supporting children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and flexible, creating a space where healing feels safe and possible. I believe therapy should be guided by your goals, and I will work alongside you to clarify what matters most. Together we’ll focus on making intentional choices that reflect your values and direction, while building the tools and insights needed for the changes you desire. I draw from approaches such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed practices, while also integrating person-centered therapy, play Therapy, and somatic/mind-body techniques. With children and teens, I often use play, creativity, and developmentally appropriate strategies to help them feel engaged and understood. With adults, I focus on building coping skills, fostering insight, and empowering them to address current struggles while exploring the impact of past experiences.

I see each client as the expert in their own life and value collaboration, authenticity, and curiosity in the therapeutic process. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can be fully yourself, even in the difficult and messy moments, without feeling you need to hide any part of you. I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space for clients of all backgrounds, where everyone feels seen, respected, and valued. I am passionate about supporting younger clients, knowing that having a safe space to process emotions and build resilience early in life can have a lasting impact. I also enjoy helping adults explore influences of past experiences while developing tools to navigate the present with greater awareness, confidence, and strength. Through my own counseling journey, I have experienced the profound impact therapy can have on personal growth and self-understanding, deepening my empathy and commitment to support you in discovering insight and creating meaningful change.
