She brings nine years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Holly aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people feel heard and understood.

Background and approach
Her work draws on client-centered methods that focus on building a trusting working relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotional regulation and stress tolerance are goals.
Holly has helped people facing a wide range of challenges, including anger, intimacy-related issues, career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with obsessive thoughts, dissociation, personality-related issues, and recovery from sexual assault or traumatic brain injury. Conversations are practical and paced to what feels manageable.
Holly aims to help people notice small shifts that add up over time. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to try skills between sessions as part of steady progress.
How Holly’s approaches translate to online care
Holly combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship so people feel understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete steps to change behavior and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness practices teach attention and grounding skills to manage stress and intense feelings.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Holly will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and practice skills between sessions.
