About Hollie

Hollie Baraldi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in Texas. She holds an LMFT and has three years of clinical experience. Hollie offers straightforward support for parents and adults facing everyday pressures.

She listens closely and brings a warm, down-to-earth presence to sessions. Her style blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas. That means Hollie focuses on what matters to each person and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

She helps people tackle stress and anxiety, boost self-esteem, and handle life transitions such as separation and changes in family roles. Hollie works with relationship and family concerns, including communication problems and divorce and separation. She also addresses issues around life purpose, self-love, and women's issues.

In sessions she aims to make conversations easy to follow and meaningful for daily life. Sessions tend to be empathetic and goal-focused. Hollie encourages honest talk about feelings and behaviors, then tries simple tools clients can use between meetings.

She likes to keep things human and sometimes light when appropriate. Clients who want practical steps and steady support often find this approach useful. Hollie partners with people as they take small, concrete steps toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns.

Starting therapy is framed as a courageous first step toward better day-to-day living.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, validates what matters to the client, and helps guide conversations so people feel heard and understood. This approach suits issues where relationship and personal meaning are central.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses simple exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address stress. CBT is often useful for practical problem solving and learning new coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hollie partners with clients to decide which methods make sense for their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats offer flexibility for parents and working adults, allowing regular contact without travel. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and using tools in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
