About Holly
Holly Knapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with 17 years of clinical work. She practices in Wisconsin and brings steady, nonjudgmental support to people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Holly has worked in many settings, from outpatient clinics to crisis and residential care.
That range gives her experience with short-term needs and longer healing work alike. She sees stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and ADHD among other concerns and helps people manage day-to-day strain and longer-term change.
Background and approach
Her style is grounded and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Holly believes connection is the first step toward change, and she centers kindness and honesty in the work.
Holly uses several helpful approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and acceptance-based strategies. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas and client-centered conversation to understand how relationships and early experiences affect current struggles. People who choose Holly usually want concrete tools plus room to reflect.
She supports coping with life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and identity-related worries. She also works with issues like sleep, eating, career shifts, and intimacy-related concerns. Practical matters are a part of the process.
Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Holly asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling and to find the best fit.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It combines practical exercises with acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and focus problems. Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and prioritizes empathy and listening to help build self-understanding and motivation.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts tools over time and checks in to see what helps and what doesn’t.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support and quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
