    About Holly

    Holly Ellison greets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida and brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions. Holly speaks plainly and aims to make starting therapy as simple as possible.

    She uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing life changes, grief, work strain, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Holly often addresses communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, panic attacks, and concerns related to ADHD and self-love.

    Holly blends several approaches to meet each person’s needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-Centered and Solution-Focused ideas shape sessions so the person sets the pace and goals.

    Her background includes community and hospital settings, with experience in school, in-home, inpatient, and outpatient work. That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions. Mindfulness and expressive activities may be offered when they fit a person’s goals.

    Holly aims to teach practical coping skills and short-term tools people can use between sessions. She invites people to start with a simple conversation, see how the approach feels, and adjust treatment to match their goals.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build internal motivation. Online sessions using this approach focus on guided conversation, identifying personal goals, and planning small steps forward.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means tracking patterns, practicing new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing progress together.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person's priorities lead the work. This approach supports online collaboration and lets the therapist follow the client's pace and preferences.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration helps shape goals and decide what exercises or strategies to try.

    Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists assign practical between-session tasks, review progress, and keep work focused on real-life changes.
