About Holly
Holly Knapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She practices in Wisconsin and brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Holly emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to manage stress and anxiety.
Holly has worked in many settings, including outpatient, crisis, inpatient, residential, correctional, college, and community mental health. That variety means she has helped people facing urgent problems and long-term struggles.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how emotional, physical, social, nutritional, medical, and spiritual factors interact with mental health. In sessions she works side by side with people to process difficult experiences and discover clearer priorities. Her style is grounded and supportive.
She encourages kindness toward oneself while taking realistic, achievable steps forward. Holly uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused methods, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to manage anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, and other listed areas of difficulty.
People looking for practical tools will find work on coping skills, thought patterns, and values-based action. Coaching elements are woven into therapy when helpful. Her goal is to help each person build balance and meaning that fits their life.
To begin, she asks people to clarify goals and then chooses strategies together. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-world changes that feel doable.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying your values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation when you want actions that match your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift how they relate to others and soothe strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She blends techniques as needed and adjusts plans based on what is helping in real life.
Online therapy with Holly uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone sessions can fit quick check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging or chat can support short updates, skill practice, or when a written check-in is more convenient. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
