About Holly

Holly Powell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes. She supports people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, bipolar-related struggles, and challenges with intimacy and self-esteem. Her approach is practical and respectful, focused on what a person needs right now.

Holly uses a mix of methods to match each person’s situation. She draws on client-centered work to center the person's goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used to boost motivation and improve coping when needed.

Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps. Holly tailors the conversation and plan to the individual's goals and life context. She aims to help people notice what works, try different strategies, and build routines that fit day-to-day life.

With eight years of experience, Holly brings steady support and practical tools. She practices in Florida as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her manner is compassionate and direct, aiming to empower clients as they make changes.

People often seek her out when they need help managing life transitions, grief, workplace or caregiver stress, or patterns that keep them stuck. She encourages small, doable steps toward more satisfying routines and relationships.

How Holly's approaches translate to online work

Holly commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the person sets the pace and goals. It helps when someone needs understanding and a plan built around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to change patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Holly will work with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust as goals or circumstances change. This is a collaborative process that balances immediate needs with longer-term change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so you can use a break at work or between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to remote meetings to focus on practical tools and goal-setting that fit everyday life.
