LCMHC in North Carolina - Anxiety and Trauma
See online therapy optionsAbout Holly
Holly Ingram is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 34 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation problems. Her work also covers ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting, and coping with life changes.
Holly takes a practical, person-centered approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. The aim is to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and test different ways of responding.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with a broad range of concerns, plus experience using structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. This gives options for both skills-based work and deeper trauma-focused processing depending on the issue.
In sessions she works collaboratively to pick methods that match the client’s needs and pace. Conversations are direct and practical, often mixing thought-work, behavior changes, and emotion-regulation skills. Homework assignments are concrete and aimed at everyday situations.
People who prefer straightforward, step-by-step help with clear techniques and measurable steps tend to find this style useful. Anyone considering therapy is encouraged to check the session options and scheduling details before booking their first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Holly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT focuses on breaking down situations, thoughts, and behaviors into manageable steps, often with practical exercises between sessions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead to identify what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when those needs arise.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work in sessions. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust as needed based on what helps. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress or new issues appear.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency with their work between sessions.
