Remote therapy and clinical approaches
Holly provides remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are offered so that therapeutic work can proceed through different communication formats, allowing for both real-time conversation and ongoing written contact when appropriate to the person and the therapeutic plan.
Dialectical behavior therapy, as used by Holly, focuses on developing skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. Somatic therapy emphasizes attention to body sensations and how the nervous system holds stress or trauma, supporting grounded ways to notice and respond to physical experience. Internal family systems is offered as a way to work with internal parts and their roles, helping to organize internal experience into a collaborative process.
Holly works in a client-centered manner, adapting these approaches to match a person’s goals and preferences. She discusses together which methods and which communication channels best fit the work someone wants to do.
