Background and approach
She listens closely and helps clients set clear, reachable goals. Her work draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead and build on their strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
For people affected by traumatic events, she applies trauma-focused methods tailored to reduce distress and improve coping. Holly offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She works with a range of concerns including bipolar symptoms, addictions, LGBT issues, family and relationship stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and body image worries.
People who choose Holly can expect a collaborative process. She helps break big problems into small steps and checks progress along the way. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's calendar.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build trust and confidence. It helps people who need space to talk about feelings, to feel heard, and to develop their own solutions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that cause distress.
Trauma-focused therapy targets symptoms that come after traumatic events by teaching coping skills and gradual processing of difficult memories. It can reduce the intense reactions that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related routines.
