About Holly
Holly Paine is a Kansas-licensed clinical counselor (LCPC) with six years of professional experience. Holly focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. They aim to create a welcoming space where clients can be themselves and speak honestly about what’s hard.
Holly favors cognitive behavioral methods but mixes in other approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and tailored, so clients learn concrete skills they can use between visits.
Background and approach
The tone in sessions is warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental. Clients often bring concerns about mood, panic, or trouble concentrating, and Holly helps them break problems into manageable steps. They also work with matters related to gender identity, LGBT concerns, sexuality and alternative sexual cultures, and relationship styles such as polyamory.
Practical communication skills and coping strategies are common session topics. Holly also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, hospice or end-of-life issues, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Therapy can include short-term strategies for symptom relief and longer-term work on values and meaning.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Holly encourages clients to take the first step toward change and helps them find approaches that fit their life and goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Holly works most often from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based perspectives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and concentration struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them.Holly also draws on client-centered and mindfulness methods, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective leads the work. Choosing the right approach is a team effort - Holly will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time so therapy stays aligned with each person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see facial cues and body language. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity on weeks when in-person meeting would be difficult.
