About Holly

Holly Henderson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 19 years of experience, licensed in Florida and California. She works with adults on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship strains, LGBT issues, grief, and stress. She also addresses mood disorders, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and communication problems.

Holly earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Florida with a minor in Women’s Studies and Gender Issues. Her career has included inpatient, mobile crisis, triage, community-based counseling, home-based counseling, residential work, and telehealth. That range informs how she approaches both short-term needs and longer-standing patterns.

Her style draws from client-centered ideas and a strengths-based stance. Sessions commonly include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and emotionally-focused strategies to address relationship and attachment concerns. She also uses trauma-informed tools and family-systems knowledge when family history or intergenerational patterns are relevant.

In practical terms she offers weekend morning live sessions and messaging around the clock, so people juggling parenting and work can find times that fit. Her work often focuses on helping clients clarify identity, manage mood symptoms, and improve communication within family relationships.

Clients can expect a conversational approach that mixes skill teaching, reflective listening, and direct problem-solving. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of how she works when it feels appropriate. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding to what matters most to the individual. In online sessions this looks like reflective conversation and feedback that helps people clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying and naming feelings and changing interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Holly collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts methods as work progresses. That collaboration helps shape session focus, whether the priority is symptom management, processing past trauma, or improving communication at home.

Her biography notes live sessions on weekend mornings and ongoing messaging. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what format will be used. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur between parenting or work tasks. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care while adapting pace and tools to everyday life.
