About Holly

Holly Ingram is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina. She brings 34 years of professional experience to her work and focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and parenting. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Holly aims to create a calm space where someone can take the first steps toward change at their own pace.

Background and approach

Over decades of practice she has used practical, evidence-based tools to help people manage symptoms and regain stability. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping. For trauma-related concerns she integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate.

Sessions typically focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations cover what is happening now, what patterns are getting in the way, and small changes that can make daily life easier. Holly works to keep language plain and actionable so parents and caregivers can try strategies between meetings.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of mood and stress-related issues, plus additional attention to chronic pain, communication problems, and grief. She is licensed in North Carolina as LCMHC 2740 and conducts work in English. Holly accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to fit different schedules.

She supports people coping with relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, postpartum mood issues, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions.

Approaches that guide online support

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client’s priorities. The therapist creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space and helps people name their goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs clarity, validation, and practical direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. It breaks worries into manageable parts and teaches simple tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can help with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor online sessions to what actually helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit into busy family schedules. These options can make it easier to keep regular appointments, try short check-ins between sessions, and use tools discussed in sessions in real time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent support across different situations and time zones.

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.
