Holly Ellison, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Holly

Holly Ellison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people who feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck in life. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use to feel steadier. Holly works from Florida and brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions.

She uses common-sense tools to tackle day-to-day struggles so clients can get relief and move forward. Holly draws on several proven methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, to address stress, anxiety, and panic attacks.

Background and approach

She also helps with anger, impulsivity, and self-esteem concerns. Many people consult her about parenting worries, family stress, relationship tension, and career strain. Her style blends client-centered conversation with solution-focused planning.

That means she listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals. She uses motivational interviewing to build momentum and keep change manageable. Holly has worked in community and hospital settings, providing both individual and group care.

Her background includes in-school and in-home work as well as inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services, which shaped her practical approach to coping skills and problem solving. Sessions focus on concrete tools such as breathing practices, thought-challenging exercises, and short behavioral experiments. Parents can expect help with parenting strategies, communication problems, and setting routines.

Holly aims to make therapy useful and understandable for busy lives.

Practical approaches for online parenting and life stress

Holly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional awareness, useful for anger and daily overwhelm.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's priorities guide the work. Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process; Holly will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods based on goals and preferences so the plan fits each person's life and parenting needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to give flexibility for busy schedules. These formats let people use brief check-ins, longer weekly conversations, or text-based coaching depending on what helps most. The goal is to make practical tools accessible and usable between sessions so change can happen in everyday life.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
