About Holly

Holly Keyser is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and addiction.

She offers straightforward, person-focused sessions that mix practical skills with talk. Holly uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She can be direct in session while also building a collaborative working plan with each person.

Holly has long experience working with survivors of abuse and people facing grief and major life changes. Over two decades she has also supported those dealing with bipolar symptoms, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her caseload has included a wide range of relationship and attachment concerns such as commitment issues, codependency, communication problems, and separation or divorce.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and concrete steps people can take between meetings. That can include practicing different ways to think about a situation, changing routines that keep problems going, or building small skills for managing strong emotions. The work is practical and paced to what each person can try.

People who choose Holly will be asked to outline their concerns and goals at the start. She uses that information to shape a plan drawing on CBT, client-centered approaches, and trauma-focused methods when needed. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is based in Wisconsin.

How Holly uses therapeutic methods online

Holly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical alternatives. CBT focuses on identifying specific thinking and behavior patterns and practicing changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or relationship distress.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and understanding each person’s experience so goals come from the client. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm affects current functioning; this approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and building coping skills for triggers and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals, symptom pattern, and what feels manageable. That plan can change as progress is tracked and needs shift.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. The original biography mentions phone counseling sessions, so confirm current session options before booking if you prefer video or other formats. Online sessions can make short check-ins easier, allow quieter surroundings without a commute, and help people keep therapy going between in-person commitments.
