About Hollie

Hollie Crosbie is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and family concerns. She uses straightforward talk to address parenting struggles, relationship strain, coping with life changes, and substance or behavioral addictions. Hollie works in New Hampshire and brings two decades of experience to her sessions as LCSW and LICSW.

Her style is open and warm. She aims to create a space where people can say what they feel without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps, like identifying patterns, learning new coping skills, and trying small changes that fit daily life. Hollie uses tools from several approaches to match the person's needs. That can mean working on thought patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy, practicing present-moment skills from mindfulness, or focusing on values and action with acceptance and commitment therapy.

She also draws on techniques from client-centered work and dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or relationship skills are needed. Those methods help with anger, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and burnout such as compassion fatigue. With experience supporting first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood changes, Hollie aims to be practical and steady.

The work is collaborative: she helps people set goals and tests what helps in real life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often includes homework and simple skill practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, or client-centered listening based on what proves most helpful in real life.

Online sessions let people access these approaches from home through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, or medical appointments and supports ongoing skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for each format so progress continues even when meeting remotely.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
