About Holly

Holly Henderson offers practical, person-focused therapy rooted in client-centered care. She uses clear, evidence-based tools to help parents and families cope with stress, grief, mood symptoms, anxiety, trauma, and parenting challenges. Holly holds both LMHC and LPCC credentials and brings 19 years of experience to sessions.

Her style aims to be warm, straightforward, and respectfully direct so parents can focus on real change. Holly graduated with a master's degree in clinical psychology and has worked across many settings since 2003.

Background and approach

She has experience in inpatient care, mobile crisis response, triage, community and home-based counseling, residential programs, and telehealth. That range informs practical strategies for everyday family life and parenting situations. In session she blends client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas when they fit a family's needs. That mix lets her address thoughts and behaviors, feelings between family members, and meaning or values that matter to each person. Parents can expect a focus on communication skills, attachment and family-of-origin patterns, and coping techniques for depression, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.

Holly also offers support for LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, fertility-related stress, and compassion fatigue. Holly provides video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions from Florida. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online family work

Holly combines client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the parent's or family's lead, listens closely, and offers validation and support. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides clear exercises and tools parents can use between sessions to manage anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at the feelings and interaction patterns between family members, helping improve communication and repair attachment strains.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each parent or family to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range helps parents fit therapy into busy schedules, follow up between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent care for families even when in-person meetings are difficult.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
