Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Holly uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening, empathy, and adapting sessions to the priorities of each person. This approach helps when the main need is to feel heard, to clarify personal goals, and to build confidence in making changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key method she uses - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by teaching practical coping strategies.
Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation and improve day-to-day wellbeing.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly works with each person to explore what methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy lives or those living outside the therapist's region. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into daily routines, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
