Remote care options
Holly offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Sessions can include structured skill teaching, guided reflection, or relational work depending on the presenting goals.
She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and support committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be incorporated to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Those who prefer actionable strategies and a collaborative planning process may find this combination of approaches a fit. Holly adapts pacing and tools to the format chosen, whether a synchronous video conversation, a phone call, live chat interactions, or ongoing text-based messaging.
