About Holly
Holly Wasierski is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and attention-related concerns. Holly uses a calm, practical style and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy people.
Holly favors a client-centered way of working. She listens first, then helps people set goals that fit their life.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real steps parents and caregivers can try between meetings. She pays attention to strengths and practical changes rather than long lists of labels. When parenting is a source of strain, Holly helps parents sort priorities, set boundaries, and reduce daily friction.
She also supports people who are dealing with adoption or foster care questions, family problems, and issues that arise during young adulthood. Those topics often connect to stress, self-worth, or past trauma. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions when they help clients manage anxiety and reactivity.
These are simple, breath-based and attention exercises that people can use during a stressful moment. Holly adapts techniques to fit each person’s routine and energy level. People work with Holly through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.
The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time. She aims for a steady, practical pace so clients feel supported without added pressure.

How client-centered and mindfulness approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects understanding, and helps people set goals that feel realistic. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort parenting choices, stress, or self-esteem concerns.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety. These practices are brief and practical, useful for moments of overwhelm or when feeling triggered by family or parenting stress. They are taught in-session and practiced between meetings to build everyday habits.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Holly will work with each person to figure out what methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats make this collaborative work flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people keep momentum between sessions or share quick updates. These options help parents and busy adults fit therapy into their schedules without long commutes.
