About David
Dr. David Hollis is a licensed mental health counselor in New York. He offers practical, faith-informed counseling that addresses common struggles like stress and anxiety.
He focuses on helping people take small, useful steps toward better sleep, stronger self-esteem, and clearer career goals. He brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and adapts his approach to each person's needs. Conversations are shaped by a Christian counseling perspective when clients want that framework.
Background and approach
That means faith and personal values can be part of the conversation alongside everyday coping strategies. In session he listens for what matters right now and works with clients to set short-term goals. He uses straightforward techniques to address sleeping problems, low motivation, and confidence issues.
Practical suggestions and action steps are offered so progress can be measured week to week. Dr. Hollis also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and anger.
He helps individuals clarify communication patterns, manage emotional reactions, and make decisions about separation or forgiveness when those topics arise. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Those first steps help him tailor the work to a client's priorities and life situation.
He encourages people who feel nervous about beginning therapy and acknowledges that taking that step takes courage.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Hollis draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on practical changes in daily life. One common approach helps people develop better sleep routines and reduce nighttime worry by changing thoughts and behaviors that interfere with rest. Another approach targets anxiety and stress by teaching simple skills for managing physical tension, spotting worry patterns, and testing unhelpful beliefs through small behavioral experiments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and values and together decide which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made along the way based on how well the strategies fit and what the client finds most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face to face while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
