About Holly
Holly Ellison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most. Holly focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions to feel steadier at home and work.
She brings 11 years of experience in community and hospital settings. That background includes individual and group work, in-school and in-home services, and both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care.
Background and approach
Those settings taught her how to adapt support to different day-to-day realities. Holly uses a mix of approaches depending on each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s pace and priorities.
She adds cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new habits. Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice for people who want tools to calm anxiety and manage impulses. Solution-focused and motivational interviewing methods help people set clear goals and find steps they can try right away.
In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and useful homework tasks. Typical concerns she addresses include ADHD, communication problems, panic attacks, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Holly supports people working on self-esteem, self-love, and better control of impulsivity.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people pick strategies that fit their lives and adjusts the plan as they make progress.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Holly commonly combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the person’s priorities so therapy fits their pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and impulsivity.She also uses mindfulness-based tools to teach simple breathing and attention practices that can reduce stress and build distress tolerance. These approaches are presented in an easy, step-by-step way and can be adjusted as goals change. Finding the right mix is part of the work together; Holly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single approach.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, while phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, progress notes, and ongoing support between fuller sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and life demands.
