About Holly
Holly Paine is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas. Holly brings six years of practice to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. The focus is practical support and steady presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed.
Holly uses a mix of approaches, with a clear cognitive-behavioral leaning. Sessions usually include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, manageable behaviors between meetings. Mindfulness and acceptance work are added when they fit a person’s goals.
Background and approach
Holly aims to meet each person where they are. Appointments are held in a nonjudgmental way and encourage clients to show up as they are. The work moves at a client’s pace and centers the concerns the person brings to the room.
Common topics Holly addresses include panic and social anxiety, mood and impulse control struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and relationship concerns such as communication or non-monogamy. Sexuality, gender dysphoria, kink and BDSM culture are also areas of focus when relevant to the person’s goals. Holly frames change as a collaborative process.
Sessions combine listening, practical tools, and short exercises to try between meetings. The aim is clearer thinking, calmer responses, and more workable day-to-day routines.
Approach and access for online anxiety support
Holly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods in online work. CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors, which can reduce panic and anxious habits. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on noticing difficult feelings and committing to values-based action rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to build trust and clarity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Holly will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. The therapist aims to match methods to the person's style and day-to-day needs rather than using one fixed model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
