About Holly
Holly Abbott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience in clinical and community settings in Georgia. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, parenting strains, grief, ADHD, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than labels or promises.
Before moving into private practice, she worked in schools and with local agencies. That background shaped her approach to everyday struggles in homes and caregiving roles. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered work, dialectical behavior ideas, existential questions, and motivational interviewing to help people move forward.
Her style is direct and conversational. She helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations may include problem-solving, skills practice, and reflecting on values and choices.
Holly often supports adults coping with parenting stress, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver strain. She also addresses intimacy-related problems, communication trouble, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.
Practical matters like managing anger, setting boundaries, coping with chronic illness, or planning career steps are included alongside mental health topics. People who want straightforward, goal-focused sessions that connect to home life may find this approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through family roles, parenting strains, or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These skills can help with regulation, interpersonal stress, and commitments to consistent behavior change. Finding the best fit often happens together. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods based on a person’s goals, background, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process can guide whether to emphasize skills practice, reflective work, or behavior-focused strategies. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school drop-offs, work breaks, or caregiving duties. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and reduce time spent traveling to appointments.Areas of focus
