Dr. David Hollis

Dr. David Hollis is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. He uses an evidence-based approach while bringing a perspective shaped by his Christian faith. He aims to create a respectful, caring space where people can talk about stress, anger, and relationship strains without judgment.

He helps people who are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck at work, or struggling with sleep and low self-esteem. He also supports those navigating grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Anger and communication problems are listed among his focus areas, and he offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions.

David emphasizes tailoring conversations and plans to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and small behavior changes that add up over time. He balances faith-informed perspectives with commonly used therapeutic techniques to match a client’s needs.

He has four years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC. That background includes working with clients on forgiveness, divorce and separation concerns, and men’s issues. He encourages people to take the first step and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

Before scheduling, clients can expect a brief matching questionnaire and then a chance to pick a time that works. David asks each person about their goals so the work can begin in a focused, practical way.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Two common evidence-based approaches often used in this kind of work are cognitive-behavioral methods and trauma-focused techniques. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and help people try new behaviors or thought patterns to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. Trauma-focused techniques help people process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that follow upsetting events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then recommend techniques that fit. Together they will adjust the focus over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and support consistent check-ins during workweeks. It also allows for shorter or more flexible appointments when needed and can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions.
