About Holly

Holly Ellison offers therapy to people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make changes in their lives.

Background and approach

As a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of practice, she blends practical strategies and a collaborative style to help clients address concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, career decisions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship or family issues.

Holly emphasizes building coping skills and improving communication while helping clients tackle impulsivity, panic, control issues, and self-love difficulties. Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered work, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies.

Holly has provided care across community and hospital settings, offering individual and group support and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. She aims to meet clients where they are, combining practical skill-building with a supportive, hopeful outlook as clients work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care



Holly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, impulsivity, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals and values. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she employs to build present-moment awareness and coping strategies for emotions like anger, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Holly works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals and adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains practical and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from locations that suit them and to choose formats that match their comfort level and schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while using the therapist's evidence-informed techniques to build skills and work toward meaningful change.
