    About Holly

    Holly Hawkins is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

    Holly brings 12 years of experience to her work. Her style is warm and practical. She listens carefully, asks clear questions, and helps people set small, useful goals. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on building momentum toward change.

    She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Holly also uses Client-Centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when helpful to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

    Holly emphasizes strengths and practical skills. She offers straightforward coping strategies, emotion regulation techniques, and steps to address substance use when needed. Progress is tracked in simple ways so clients can see what is working.

    Work with Holly starts by matching goals and scheduling a time that fits the client. She practices from New York and offers services in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Holly blends a few practical methods that translate well to remote conversations. Motivational Interviewing focuses on open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify their own reasons for change; it fits well into short check-ins or goal-focused sessions. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes respect and empathy, creating space for people to speak freely and feel heard during an online session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior with concrete exercises and homework that can be shared and reviewed between meetings.

    Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Holly will talk with clients about their goals, routines, and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress and needs change, so the approach evolves with the client.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients practice skills in real life between meetings. Licensed professionals often use conversation, guided exercises, and homework in remote sessions to keep work moving forward without promising a specific outcome.
