How Holly’s Methods Translate to Online Work
Holly often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior skills. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so the therapist can reflect and support what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice patterns of thought and try different actions to reduce distress. Dialectical behavior strategies teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy lives.
