How Holly works
Parenting strain, intimacy issues, and relationship or communication problems are among the topics she addresses. Additional focuses include chronic pain or illness, codependency, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts. Her approach starts with listening.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Holly values clear, straightforward conversations. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented, with tools people can use between appointments. She sees therapy as a collaborative process where the client's goals guide the work.
People who prefer a calm, steady guide may find her style helpful. She accepts English-speaking clients and works with international clients as well. Her practice accommodates multiple session formats to fit different routines and needs.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Holly draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person's lead and build trust. That approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own goals, which can translate well to video or phone conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it often involves simple exercises and homework that work well in remote formats.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will talk through your needs, goals, and preferences to decide which methods fit best. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing communication and brief updates between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
