How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps uncover priorities and builds trust by centering the client's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, gives practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help with strong reactions and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. She collaborates to pick methods that match the client's needs and adjusts as those needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between obligations. They also let people use video or phone in ways that suit their day-to-day routine. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions, such as using short homework practices, skills coaching, and structured agenda items to keep sessions focused.
