About Holly
Holly Henderson is a licensed mental health counselor with nearly two decades of experience. She practices from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective and aims to help parents and individuals clarify their identity and goals. Holly offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text message to fit different needs and schedules.
She received a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Florida with a minor in Women’s Studies and Gender Issues.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in inpatient settings, mobile crisis and triage, community and home-based counseling, residential programs, and telehealth. That range informs a practical approach to common parenting and life challenges. In sessions she uses clear, structured methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered listening.
Emotion-focused and mindfulness work appear when emotion regulation, attachment, or trauma responses are part of the picture. Conversations are direct and aimed at real change, not jargon. Parents often come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family difficulties.
She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anger, career concerns, and mood disorders among other areas. The aim is to reduce what gets in the way of daily functioning and parenting confidence. Holly frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She offers encouragement, practical tools, and space to reflect. Humor is used when appropriate to relieve tension and keep sessions human and grounded.

How therapy approaches are used online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping the client lead the pace of change. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your concerns and reflections and builds treatment around what matters most to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and parenting stress when concrete skills are needed.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences during early sessions and suggest techniques that fit your situation. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps you make progress, so collaboration guides each step.
Online formats support different needs. Video calls let you meet face to face when a fuller conversation feels important. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility for parents who need short, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different daily routines.
