Holly Caruso

Holly Caruso is a licensed counselor with twenty years of experience helping people manage anger, stress, and life transitions. She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and works from a person-focused stance. Holly aims to make therapy feel like a practical place to learn new ways of coping and communicating.

Holly uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand what matters to each person. She helps clients spot patterns that lead to anger, anxiety, or relationship conflict and then practices small, manageable changes together. Sessions often include concrete tools for calming down, handling triggers, and improving communication.

Over two decades in practice, Holly has worked with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career stress. She also focuses on issues around identity, including work with LGBT concerns and body image. Her experience includes helping people adapt after major life events and loss.

Her methods draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix lets her match tools to a person's goals, whether the aim is short-term problem solving or deeper emotional repair.

Holly asks about each person's daily life and what they want to change. She prioritizes practical steps you can try between sessions. The goal is better emotion regulation, clearer communication, and more satisfying day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and supported while they clarify their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anger, anxiety, and mood struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what comes next based on what helps most.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep.
