About Holly
Holly Abbott is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people tackle relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and life changes. Holly aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for those reaching out.
Her background includes work in schools, independent practice, and local agencies. That range gave her experience with trauma and abuse, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, grief, and many relationship and family issues.
How Holly works
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. In sessions she keeps language simple and practical. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and skills people can try between meetings.
She also helps with longer-term questions about identity, meaning, and motivation when clients want that work. Holly emphasizes compassion and nonjudgment. She creates a calm space where people can say what’s hard and look for realistic next steps.
She tailors methods rather than using a single formula. People who reach out can expect collaborative planning and clear goals. Holly uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, existential questions, and motivational interviewing to help people move forward.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them name feelings and decide what matters most, which can help with relationship pain, identity questions, and low mood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialetical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships have repeated conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they try methods, notice what works, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and work for in-depth conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text sessions allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
