About Holly
Holly Bankston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related concerns. She provides a steady, practical presence so clients can feel heard and take steps forward. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.
Holly uses tools from several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns that keep problems going and replace them with more helpful habits.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration. Clients work together with Holly to set clear goals and try skills between sessions. Progress is measured in everyday life changes, like calmer reactions, clearer communication, or better focus at work and home.
Holly has 17 years of experience in counseling across a range of concerns, including codependency, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and body image. That background informs a flexible style that balances support with practical skill building.
People who reach out will be guided through an initial matching process and scheduling steps. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her Texas practice. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How selected approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where people feel pulled between competing goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with clearer, more effective habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people communicate about their needs. It can help with relationship distress and stronger emotional awareness.Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Holly collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That might mean trying one method first and adding techniques from another as needs change.
Many people appreciate that online therapy can fit into busy routines and reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend brief check-ins on a lunch break, use video when visual cues help, or choose audio when bandwidth is limited. Specific session formats should be confirmed before booking, since options can vary. The focus is on practical ways to practice skills between meetings and apply changes in daily life rather than on a particular delivery mode.
