Holly Powell, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Holly

Holly Powell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and motivation. She offers straightforward support for concerns like self-esteem, bipolar disorder, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. Holly speaks plainly and focuses on what matters to each person in a single session and over time.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to fit a person’s situation.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer thinking rather than relying on labels or one-size-fits-all solutions. Holly draws from several proven methods. She uses client-centered therapy to follow what each person brings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions when needed. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to steady attention and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck.

Those tools are selected to match goals, whether the focus is on mood, addiction, or stress from caregiving or work. With eight years of practice, Holly has worked across a range of life challenges including family problems, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue.

She adapts her approach to what each person needs and helps them move toward clearer choices and small measurable steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Holly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change how they feel and act. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or family.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, to teach skills for tolerating intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. DBT techniques can help when anger, overwhelm, or self-destructive urges get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit care around work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats also make it easier to continue momentum between appointments and practice skills in real time.

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.
