Teletherapy and remote support
Holly offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for ongoing collaboration when in-person meetings are not possible and support continuity of care across different settings. She uses the same clinical approaches in remote work as in office-based work.
Client-Centered Therapy in her remote practice emphasizes active listening and working from each person’s goals, creating space for clients to guide the focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical skills for managing stress and mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses traumatic events with attention to safety, pacing, and techniques aimed at processing difficult experiences while building coping resources.
People who prefer reflective, person-led conversations, or those looking for skills-based strategies and trauma-informed care may find a collaborative fit with these methods. Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
