About Holly

Holly Perry is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of clinical experience in Louisiana. She focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can say what they need to say and look at what gets in the way of daily life.

Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people manage worry, stress, mood shifts, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Holly uses clear, evidence-informed methods to guide conversations and set simple goals.

Background and approach

She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice how thoughts and behaviors interact. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the room accepting and nonjudgmental. Her background includes long-term work with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and family challenges.

Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and matters related to sexual culture such as BDSM and kink. In session, Holly tends to be practical and compassionate. She helps people track patterns, test small changes, and learn coping skills that fit daily life.

Conversations aim to reduce shame, strengthen self-respect, and build clearer communication with others. Holly offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her Louisiana license is LA LPC 3250 and she brings two decades of steady clinical experience to each meeting.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building understanding. It helps people feel heard and safe enough to talk about painful topics, which can make it easier to try new ways of handling problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides clear exercises and homework to test small changes, which often works well over video or messaging when homework and tracking can be shared.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Together they pick methods that fit the person’s life and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one rigid model.

Online formats support flexible care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people work during breaks, after work, or from home when travel is difficult. The variety also makes it easier to follow short skill-building exercises between sessions and to keep momentum when life is busy.

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.
