About Lia
Lia Hollis is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Lia also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches concerns in straightforward terms. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how it affects everyday life, and what practical steps can reduce distress. Lia uses listening, reflective conversation, and evidence-informed techniques to help clients build coping skills and make decisions that fit their circumstances.
Her work draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to address things like avoidance, difficult emotions, communication problems, and patterns that keep people stuck. Lia aims to help people notice what matters to them and take small, consistent actions toward those values.
Lia has experience supporting a wide range of concerns including abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image and sexual assault and abuse among other areas. She brings this experience into focused sessions that target practical steps and emotional understanding. Lia frames therapy as collaborative problem solving rather than a list of techniques.
Many people come to talk about parenting strain, family conflict, or intimacy-related worries. Lia encourages clear communication and manageable goals so that changes can fit into busy household lives.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about parenting or relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection so a person can explore priorities and feel heard; it often helps with self-esteem and coping with life changes.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to test different methods and adjust based on how well they fit the person’s goals and daily routine. This keeps work focused on practical changes rather than on techniques alone.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows therapists to use ACT exercises, mindfulness prompts, and emotionally focused conversation in ways that match a client’s life and time constraints.
