Online session style and methods
Holly offers online sessions that draw on several of her documented approaches and on the flexibility described in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift patterns in thinking, behaviors, emotions, habits, and activities through concrete steps and exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy is available for work focused on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, exploring how early and current relational dynamics influence present difficulties. Mindfulness therapy can be incorporated to cultivate present-moment awareness and to support regulation of feeling states and responses.
She commonly combines talk methods with creative or expressive practices when those options fit a person’s preferences, and she notes that simple talk therapy alone may also be the chosen path. Sessions are tailored to an individual’s stated goals and needs, with the clinician adapting methods over time. Online communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that best suits their circumstances and style.
