About Holly
Holly Abbott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She is based in Georgia and lists a broad range of concerns she works with, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, anxiety and depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, and life changes.
Holly has worked in schools, private practice, and community agencies. That background means she has seen different kinds of struggles and practical needs. She draws on straightforward, evidence-linked approaches and focuses on helping people move toward clear goals.
In sessions she uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive-behavioral methods. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies, existential questions, and motivational interviewing as needed. That mix is aimed at helping people manage distressing thoughts, build coping skills, and make decisions that fit their values.
Her practice includes work around relationship patterns, family and blended family concerns, communication problems, and commitment or intimacy struggles. Holly also lists support for issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency, and domestic violence recovery.
People who reach out can expect a practical focus on what they want to change. Sessions tend to include problem-focused conversation, skill practice, and steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
How Holly’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflection. Online sessions using this approach aim to help people feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and set goals that fit real life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In an online setting CBT is used to build coping skills, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of thinking between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Delivered remotely, DBT skills can help with strong emotions, relationship interactions, and managing stress in day-to-day life.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use visual or written worksheets during a session and practice skills in between meetings to see what works in everyday life.
