About Holly
Holly Ellison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stressed, anxious, angry, or stuck by focusing on practical steps they can try right away. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, relationship or career concerns, and challenges like ADHD, panic attacks, or low self-esteem.
Holly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions emphasize spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and keep work forward-moving.
Her background includes community and hospital settings, working in individual and group formats. That experience means she is familiar with brief goal-oriented work as well as longer conversations about patterns that keep coming back. She has worked in schools, homes, inpatient units, and outpatient clinics, and brings that practical perspective into sessions.
In therapy with Holly, expect concrete tools and short exercises you can use between sessions. She helps people build coping skills for anxiety, panic, impulse control, and communication problems. There is attention to self-love, dealing with control issues, and reducing compassion fatigue.
Sessions focus on clear steps to manage symptoms and handle everyday problems. To begin, clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a cancelable subscription model for sessions that varies with location.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Holly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions typically focus on clear problems, short experiments, and homework tasks that can be done between appointments.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions start from the person’s concerns and priorities. That approach supports talking through issues and deciding what matters most to work on. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop simple, practical attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and impulsivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress and feedback indicate what helps most.
