About Holly
Holly Henderson is a licensed mental health counselor with 19 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Holly works from a strengths-based, client-centered stance and aims to create a hopeful, respectful space for honest conversation.
She trained in clinical psychology and holds a Master’s degree from Antioch University Seattle.
Background and approach
Over nearly two decades she has worked in inpatient settings, mobile crisis teams, triage, community counseling, home-based care, residential programs, and telehealth. That breadth gives her practical experience with mood disorders, panic attacks, grief, and complex trauma. In sessions she uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, existential questions, and mindfulness tools.
These are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, manage intense emotions, and practice new responses in everyday life. She also brings knowledge of family systems and intergenerational dynamics when family history is part of the concern. Holly emphasizes collaboration.
She encourages clients to name their goals and to try manageable steps between sessions. She is comfortable addressing relationship strain, parenting stress, identity questions, and symptoms related to bipolar conditions or disruptive mood dysregulation. Her style is direct but warm, and she believes humor has a place in healing.
People who want to explore identity, reduce anxiety, or find clearer direction often appreciate her practical focus and steady support.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers acceptance and encouragement while helping clients clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, panic attacks, and mood symptoms. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) attends to patterns in relationships and helps people reconnect with feelings that guide safer, clearer interactions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few techniques, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist review progress together and decide which methods to keep using as needs evolve.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work for emotion-focused and CBT exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes, practice skills between sessions, or connect when a written check-in is preferred. These options support flexibility while using the same therapeutic approaches.
