I have found my therapist to be easy to engage with, and despite the modality we use (live chat) I definitely feel that she is very present for me. My sessions don’t feel rushed, and she has provided a lot of material for me to read, which is something I find very helpful.
More about Holly
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
✝ I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I started out 20 years ago working with the elderly and disabled. I spent 15 years working with hospice and home health patients and their families, to address emotional needs and provide grief counseling and support. It was through these experiences that I learned the need for compassion and support in my community. The last 8 years I have focused in on clinical counseling in nursing homes, schools, outpatient therapy, and now am privileged to experience online therapy through the BetterHelp forum.
During my time in the mental health field I am still surprised at the number of people who tell me they have no one in their lives to just listen to their concerns and feelings. My approach is to try to meet my clients where they are at. I like to move at a pace that best fits individual situations, needs, and comfort level. I prefer treatment approaches of Interpersonal, Relational, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative therapy concepts, as well as Christianity Faith-based counseling. These types of therapies assist me in helping my clients with re-framing and replacing negative thoughts and behaviors with positive ones. I work with my clients to aim at helping my clients: challenge any irrational thoughts and distorted thinking that lead to anxiety and depression; close past chapters of life in order to focus on the present and future seasons of life; find ways to improve overall mood, and increase comfort levels in social situations; introduce positive coping and thinking patterns, and relaxation techniques.
I do share my sense of humor with my clients, as I think laughing and humor are good for the body, mind, and soul. I’m very glad that I now work specifically in the area of mental health wellness. It has been the most satisfying work I have ever done. I enjoy working with others, problem solving, giving emotional support, and being the one to provide a listening ear. ✝

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.

I have found my therapist to be easy to engage with, and despite the modality we use (live chat) I definitely feel that she is very present for me. My sessions don’t feel rushed, and she has provided a lot of material for me to read, which is something I find very helpful.
Holly helped me through a very difficult time in life. She understands how to work through situations in which multiple factors are contributing and dissect them piece by piece so it’s not so overwhelming. She also provides “help sheets” based on individual needs that are designed to help achieve your goals of therapy.
Holly has been such a huge help for me while processing the unexpected loss of my dad. Her kind spirit can be felt. You can tell she really cares about her clients.
She is so sweet and lifts you up. She is caring and helpful with absolutely anything needed.
Holly is awesome! She listens and gives great feedback. I appreciate her so much!
Holly is a wonderful and supportive counselor. She listens to me and just lets me talk when she knows I need to. I can “unload” on her and I know she’s listening. She sends me frequent and uplifting messages through the portal as well as sending me “exercises” if she thinks it will help. I think of Holly as a friend that’s easy to talk to with no judgements. That’s the best trait that a counselor can have - to be thought of as a friend with great advise as opposed to a strict “no nonsense” advisor.
I've tried counseling many times in the past and always felt almost immediately that it was not beneficial. With just one session with Holly, I'm very hopeful to make progress in overcoming my issues.
Holly has been amazing since day one! I feel sooo blessed to have come in contact with her because I have learned so much about myself with her help and she is very supportive.
We are only 1 session in, but I feeling very fortunate to have found Holly. She is incredibly easy to talk to and she makes me feel safe to share my heart and struggles which is exactly what one would hope to find in a therapist. I highly recommend her and I'm excited to see where this journey with her takes me.
Sweet kind and understanding
