Background and approach

With 17 years of experience as an LPC in Texas, Holly blends several approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and behavioral choices. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take committed action.

Holly includes client-centered listening so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping. For clients who struggle with intense emotions, she integrates dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

People who reach out can expect practical tools, clearer plans, and empathetic support. Sessions can focus on small habit changes, communication skills, or strategies to reduce overwhelm. The aim is steady progress toward the goals the person brings into therapy.

Approaches that guide online work

Holly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behavior in day-to-day life. CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises and homework that target specific problems like anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take action consistent with those values. ACT is useful when someone feels stuck in avoidance or is wrestling with persistent worries and wants a values-based way forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to match a person's goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Decisions about pacing and technique are collaborative so people can try different strategies and adjust as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and are useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support quick updates, skill coaching between sessions, or continuity when a meeting by voice is not possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
