About Holly
Holly Wells is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 41 years of experience. She helps people manage family strain, parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes.
Wells has long worked with adults facing relationship stress and parenting strain. She regularly supports people coping with loss and with questions about purpose and midlife shifts. Her practice also addresses body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and issues specific to women.
In sessions she keeps language plain and direct. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps feel manageable. She listens for the immediate problems at home and the repetitive patterns that make them harder to solve.
When someone is struggling with a parenting dilemma or family disagreement she looks for clear, usable tools. That can mean trying new ways to speak with a relative, setting boundaries, or changing how daily routines are arranged. For grief and loss the work often includes naming emotions and finding small ways to get through hard days.
Clients can expect a steady, experienced clinician who draws on decades of practice. She encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews what helps. If you want to start, be ready to say what feels most urgent and what a better few weeks would look like.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for the concerns listed include brief problem-solving methods that focus on concrete steps to change daily routines and communication habits. These methods help when someone needs quick tools to reduce conflict or to manage parenting demands. Another common approach is grief-focused work that helps name and sit with difficult feelings, and then build manageable ways to face challenging days. This is useful for people coping with loss and for those adjusting after separation or life transitions. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that match what you need. She treats the choice as a collaboration and reviews what is helping as you go. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy often makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy home schedule, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Confirm the exact session options and schedule when you set up the first appointment.Areas of focus
