About Hollie
Hollie Kennedy is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She works from a strengths-based view and encourages clients to use their own knowledge and abilities to face difficult moments. Hollie aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Her approach centers on practical talk and steady support. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying concrete ways to shift them.
How Hollie works
She helps people build confidence, find motivation, and manage mood struggles one step at a time. Hollie also addresses relational issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, and the strain caregivers often feel. She offers guidance for people navigating divorce and separation and for those carrying guilt or shame.
Work often includes clarifying values and exploring life purpose to restore a sense of direction. Over three decades in practice, Hollie has learned to tailor pacing and tools to each person’s needs. She listens for strengths and practical options that fit daily life.
Her style is steady, patient, and focused on real change. Hollie practices in New York and holds the LCSW-R credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a range of online formats to fit busy schedules.

Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Hollie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and building skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and lift mood. This method helps people break cycles that keep stress and depression active.She also works with strategies that concentrate on relationships and attachment. That work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions now, and it includes practicing clearer communication and healthier boundaries to improve connection and reduce conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hollie listens to each person’s goals and preferences and adjusts techniques as needed. Together they try methods that feel useful, and they change course when something is not working.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when conversation and body language matter. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and are useful for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options aim to give flexibility while keeping momentum in the work.
