About Holly

Holly Hawkins is an LMHC based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and challenges like coping with life changes, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem problems, career struggles, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she blends practical strategies and client-focused care to help clients navigate acute problems and longer-term patterns. Her style emphasizes collaboration, respect, and encouragement, drawing on a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered techniques.

Holly approaches each person as an individual, working from strengths and using solution-focused steps to set achievable goals and build skills that fit daily life. Her background includes assessment, referrals, care coordination, and a range of counseling formats, reflecting experience across individual, group, couples, and family work.

Holly aims to create a thoughtful, patient space where people can explore choices and develop practical tools for change. She invites prospective clients to discuss their goals so they can determine an approach that matches their needs and preferences.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Holly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when intense feelings or relationship conflicts are present. Additionally, client-centered techniques shape sessions around each person’s priorities, fostering a respectful, empathetic space to explore goals and choices.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly works with clients to evaluate which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and challenges emerge. This cooperative stance helps tailor treatment to what actually feels most helpful for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support without the need to travel, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented work across a range of concerns.
