About Holly
Dr. Holly Cabuhat uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and parenting challenges. She is a California Psychologist with 13 years of experience and talks plainly with people so they can make real changes.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and finding small, doable changes that shift daily life. She often draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help change thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation.
How Holly works
Dr. Cabuhat also works with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. These approaches help people notice patterns, build motivation for change, and practice new responses in the moment.
She adapts tools to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her experience includes supporting people with family and parenting stress, self-esteem and body image concerns, anger and impulsivity, isolation or social anxiety, and young adult issues. She has helped people cope with life transitions, mood disorders, and challenges related to autism and ADHD.
In sessions she helps people clarify goals, practice skills, and make practical plans they can try between meetings. Her aim is to support people as they take steps toward a more manageable, meaningful life.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and motivation
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. It emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapist can tailor tools to each person’s situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to shift mood and day-to-day functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions, which can help with anger, mood swings, and self-harm risk.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative stance helps people find what actually works for them rather than sticking to one method.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging is useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or continuing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and try different formats to see what fits best.
