Lia Hollis, LMSW, LISW

Lia Hollis is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and blended family issues. Lia also supports people dealing with parenting strain, communication problems, and career or life changes.

She favors clear, direct conversations that help people sort out what matters most. Sessions typically focus on identifying patterns, learning new ways to respond, and building small, doable steps to reduce distress. Lia uses a mix of approaches to fit the concern and the person rather than a single fixed method.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across multiple settings. That experience informs a practical approach to complex problems such as addiction, domestic violence aftermath, and coping with loss. Lia draws on therapy methods that emphasize present experience and values-based action to help people regain a sense of control and direction.

People often come for help with relationship tension, loyalty conflicts in stephouseholds, or the stresses of merging routines and roles. Lia can help talk through co-parenting friction, boundaries with ex-partners, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. She also supports those managing caregiver stress, aging issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her work integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused ideas, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing techniques. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical next steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first meeting are used to get started.
