About

Holly Gardenier is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Wisconsin with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress and anxiety, intimacy concerns, eating disorders, anger management, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions.

Her training emphasizes healing from trauma, working through grief, and developing tolerance for uncertainty. She is EMDR certified and draws on mindfulness practices and cognitive therapy models, alongside advanced training in treating addictions and other challenging behavior patterns.

Holly encourages adding a simple meditation practice to daily life as a way to clarify values and support everyday decision making. She invites clients to look beneath the surface of their lives to explore deeper feelings and patterns - the fear, loss, joy, and awareness carried inside each person. Her role is to offer a compassionate, safe space where individuals can discover their own answers and move toward greater purpose and relief.

She welcomes the opportunity to work alongside people ready to begin that journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, evidence shows that online therapy can be as helpful as traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether through video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to integrate consistent care into a busy life.

Therapy offered online is delivered by licensed professionals, and individuals may choose to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an effective and practical option.
