About Holly

Holly Wasierski is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She brings four years of experience focused on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related issues. Holly uses a direct, respectful style and aims to make therapy practical for busy families.

She meets people where they are and helps them find manageable steps forward. Holly favors a client-centered way of working. She listens first, then shapes goals together with each person.

Background and approach

Sessions often include mindful practices to ease anxiety and to help parents respond rather than react. The work is paced to match a family’s life and comfort level. She has experience supporting parents through adoption and foster care questions, family problems, and young adult transitions.

That background means she can help with parenting challenges and sources of family stress. Holly also addresses self-esteem and the effects of past abuse or trauma. In sessions she uses straightforward language and practical strategies.

Parents can expect clear suggestions, practiceable skills, and check-ins on what’s working. Mindfulness tools may be taught in short exercises useful during a hectic day. Holly offers several remote formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.

How Holly’s approaches translate to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience first. The therapist listens without judgment and then helps parents and family members set goals that feel relevant and realistic. This approach is useful for sorting priorities during stressful periods and for tailoring support to a family’s values and routines.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and build calm. These practices can help with anxiety, parenting stress, and moments when emotions run high. Exercises are short and can be used during the day with children or on a parent’s own break.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Holly will talk with families about goals, try techniques that fit their schedule, and adjust methods based on what helps. The plan evolves as needs change, with regular check-ins to make sure work remains practical and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or when childcare is limited. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into family life and to practice new skills between meetings.

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.

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.
