Remote therapy with focused, collaborative methods



Dr. Holliker adapts Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to online formats by prioritizing relationship, listening, and the development of clear goals. Attachment-informed work looks at how patterns of connection and caregiving affect current relationships and parenting. Client-Centered methods emphasize the person’s own experience and priorities as the basis for sessions, so each plan is shaped by what the individual or family identifies as most important.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques are offered for people who want concrete skills to manage anxiety, panic, or stress reactions. CBT supports the identification of thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, while mindfulness practices bring focused awareness to present-moment experience. These approaches are presented in accessible language and paired with collaborative goal-setting to track progress.

Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their needs and preferences.
