About Holly

Holly Henderson is a licensed mental health counselor who blends a client-centered approach with practical tools.

How Holly Uses Talk Therapy and Skills Online

Holly combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships and strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. She adapts techniques over time so sessions remain useful and focused on what matters most to the client.

The original biography lists text, chat, video, and phone as available session methods and notes weekend morning live sessions plus messaging anytime. Confirm current session options before booking to match practical needs. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people use tools like mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings to keep progress moving.
