About Holly
Holly Powell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those coping with life changes, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem issues. Holly speaks plainly and listens with respect and empathy in each conversation.
She keeps sessions focused on what matters to the client. Conversations and plans are shaped to each person’s needs and situation. She aims to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Background and approach
Holly uses practical skills drawn from evidence-based approaches. She may introduce techniques to manage intense emotions, reframe unhelpful thinking, or build better communication habits. Mindfulness practices and motivation-focused discussions are used when they fit a person’s goals.
Her background includes eight years working in helping roles, and she holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - in Florida. That experience includes supporting people who face attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues that arise around end-of-life care.
Sessions can address workplace strain, career questions, and first responder stress as well as family problems and problems with intimacy or control. Holly aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and steadier coping. The approach is collaborative.
Clients and Holly set goals together, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed to fit real life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and introduces practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through clear, teachable techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will listen to your concerns, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. Decisions about techniques and pacing are collaborative and based on your day-to-day needs.
Online formats offer flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, between-session support, or a lower-effort way to share progress. These options can help fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on concrete tools and steady progress.
