Holly Abbott, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Holly

Holly Abbott is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and has worked across schools, independent practice, and community agencies. Holly focuses on family and parenting concerns along with relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and grief.

She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and straightforward. Holly keeps sessions practical and rooted in clear goals. She listens first and adapts methods to match each family's needs.

Background and approach

Conversations cover what is happening now and what can change in daily life. Parents find concrete strategies to try between sessions. Her background includes many settings that involved children, teens, and families.

That variety shaped a flexible approach to common family stresses like communication, blended households, and caregiver strain. Holly also supports people facing abuse, loss, chronic illness, and challenges tied to adoption or attachment. She draws from several well-established approaches to help clients learn new skills and perspectives.

That includes cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational techniques help people find the energy to try small changes. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to accomplish.

Holly emphasizes clear steps, practical tools, and steady support. She works with each person or family to build on strengths and create workable plans for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Holly often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions get in the way of daily life and family interactions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Holly will work with each person or family to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what matters most at home.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options let families fit counseling into busy schedules and keep progress moving between in-person commitments.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
