Welcome! It's a big step to seek out counseling, and I want to share about my experience so you can decide whether I might be a good match for your counseling needs.

I am available for counseling by text, chat, video, and phone. At this time I am offering live sessions on weekend mornings (until 12pm Eastern time) and messaging at anytime.

I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, following a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Florida, with a minor in Women's Studies and Gender Issues. I have been working in the field since 2003 in a variety of settings -- ranging from inpatient, mobile crisis, and triage to community-based counseling, home-based counseling, residential, and telehealth; with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My passion lies in working with clients to uncover their true identity -- who they really are and who they can become once the severity of depression, anxiety, and trauma have been processed and alleviated.

I approach therapy from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, offering every client unconditional positive regard, respect, encouragement, and hope. Some of the tools I use include CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, knowledge of family systems and intergenerational trauma, communication skills, and mindfulness. Also, I believe that humor in therapy is seriously underrated...

We are a team, and my goal is to help you achieve your goals. My hope is for you to bring your whole self to therapy so that we can work together to help you be as whole as you can be. Let's do this.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Holly has been my blessing in disguise. She listens and is able to understand of of which i say to her. And as we speak i realise and more about myself. I really appreciate all her help and patience through this tough journey

Holly is absolutely incredible. She's extremely easy to open up to and a fantastic listener. She is genuinely there for me in helping me achieve my goals and makes counseling a more pleasant experience than I could've ever imagined.

Holly is a wonderful therapist. She has shown me the utmost respect, and continues to provide insightful sessions. She makes therapy a safe space, so I feel safe sharing aspects of my life that are difficult for me to discuss with others. Therapy with her has helped me learn better ways to process grief, fear, and sadness within myself. I am forever grateful for her care and expertise.

i have only known holly for a little bit but i really like her !! she is a very good listener :))

Reviewed January 2021

Holly is amazing. I was very unsure as to how this type of counselling would go or if it would be of any help. I don't think I could have been given anyone better to work with. Holly listens. I feel like Holly understands what I am trying to say, even when I find it difficult to explain how I feel or what's going on in my head. Holly demonstrates her abilities as a therapist through her helpful advice and supportive words. I feel supported, and that Holly is here to help me. Holly has this ability to validate what I say, and consistently encourages me to share more of myself. I don't think I can say enough nice things about Holly. I look forward to continuing our work with together. I don't feel rushed to work on anything and I always have someone to turn to if I need help or just need to rant. We only are communicating through messaging right now, but I always get responses that day. Holly definitely puts a lot of care and attention into her words, and always ends her messages with something to think about. I appreciate Holly so much.

She’s nice, she’s a good listener and she’s never quick to judge. She validated my feelings

Holly is a great listener and always remembers what we spoke about. She really takes the time to get to know me and what has happened to me. She is very supportive and has shown me things that I cannot see for myself and given me so much faith in myself. She is great at looking at things from a different perspective and the advice she has giving me is amazing

Hi there potential Holly client! Holly and I are still relatively new to working together (one actual video session with lots of other text communication both before & after. I've got to say, this is working for me much better than I'd anticipated, and I'm quite looking forward to our next video session. So far what I can attest to is that Holly is very much as her profile indicates - open, warm, gently challenging, and genuinely client centered (a rarer thing than you might think). Holly was a very good counselling choice for me I think, so if BetterHelp have matched you with her too, I'd suggest you run with it.
