About Hollie
Hollie Kennedy is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of practice in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those working through addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks in a straightforward way and encourages clients to notice their own strengths.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage is needed to begin. Her approach centers on listening first and then building practical steps people can use day to day.
Background and approach
She helps parents address parenting concerns and supports people dealing with attachment issues or the strain of caregiving. Conversations often include looking at communication patterns and ways to rebuild confidence after divorce or major life changes. Sessions look at specific problems such as guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.
She also helps people recognize mood shifts and develop steady coping skills. Work is paced to each person's needs, with attention to small, manageable goals. Over thirty years Hollie has worked with many people facing similar worries and has learned to keep therapy direct and useful.
She invites clients to be active in shaping their plans and to try out new skills between meetings. The focus is practical change and growing self-compassion. Hollie offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She practices in New York as an LCSW-R and conducts work in English.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Hollie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she relies on breaks worries and habits into small steps and teaches skills for managing anxiety and stress in daily life. Another approach focuses on improving relationships and attachment patterns by identifying communication habits and practicing new ways to connect and set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hollie will talk with each person about their goals, what feels most helpful, and try methods that fit their situation. Together they track progress and adjust techniques based on what works best for the individual.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief reflections or reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady contact between meetings.
