Holly Powell

Holly Powell is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people through a wide range of concerns. She works with clients who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, and life transitions. Holly emphasizes respectful, compassionate care and meets people where they are in the moment.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and useful for daily life. She uses client-centered methods and evidence-informed tools to help people build coping skills and regain a sense of control.

Holly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behavioral experiments. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports change, especially around addictions, motivation, and ambivalence. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s goals and paced to match readiness for change.

People who come for help can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk through hard topics like grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress, or career uncertainty. Holly aims to support practical steps forward and to help clients build tools they can use after therapy ends.

How Holly’s approaches work online

Holly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and shaping sessions around what you find most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those DBT-based tools can be helpful when anger or intense feelings get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you’ll try methods that fit your situation and adjust them over time so the work feels useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that using CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and DBT skills between sessions helps carry progress into everyday life.
