About Holly
Holly Ellison is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. She focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and rebuild self-esteem. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
Holly uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work focused on what the client wants to change.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when someone needs help strengthening their goals and commitment. She brings 11 years of clinical experience in community and hospital settings. That background includes individual and group work, in-school and in-home services, and both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric environments.
Those settings taught her how to adapt plans for different day-to-day challenges. Sessions often focus on skills you can use right away - breathing and grounding for panic, practical strategies for impulse control, and clearer communication patterns for relationship stress. She helps people set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
Holly works with adults on issues such as ADHD, grief, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and navigating life changes. She offers care in English and practices as an FL LMHC in Florida.
Approaches that fit into busy lives
Holly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lessen reactivity and support clearer thinking.She also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work practical and tailored to each person. Finding the right approach usually happens together - she listens to your goals and tries methods that match your needs, then adjusts based on what works for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want that connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to use therapy tools consistently while juggling a busy schedule.
