Holly Ellison

Holly Ellison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure which step to take next. She focuses on practical changes that reduce stress and increase day-to-day coping. People often come for help with anxiety, low self-esteem, work or career concerns, and grief. Holly writes in a direct, calm style and aims to make the first sessions straightforward and useful.

With 11 years of clinical experience, she has worked in schools, homes, and hospital settings. That background means she is used to both short-term problem solving and longer conversations about patterns that keep causing pain. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and on mindfulness exercises to help slow down strong emotions.

Holly also uses client-centered methods that follow each person's pace and priorities. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolbox when people want to build momentum toward specific goals. These approaches translate into practical skill-building, step-by-step plans, and check-ins on progress.

Sessions often involve talking through recent stressors, trying brief exercises in session, and setting small homework tasks to practice between meetings. Holly supports parents who are managing parenting stress and people navigating career changes, but she adapts work to each person’s needs.

She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit their routine.

Approaches for online sessions and how they help

Holly commonly draws on cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness practices when helping people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through breathing and grounding exercises to manage stress and strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises between sessions and to use real-life situations as topics for problem-solving during meetings. Licensed professionals adapt their techniques for video or phone meetings, and Holly will recommend practical steps to get sessions to work for your routine.
