About Holly
Holly Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, anger, and substance concerns. Holly focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel less overwhelmed.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable skills. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going.
Holly also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and to reduce intense reactions. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want help building motivation for change. These methods are used together to match the issue in front of her rather than as rigid rules.
In session she helps people name the situations that set off strong feelings. She teaches short techniques for calming down, then looks at the thinking and behavior that come after those moments. The focus is on practical change that fits daily life, such as communication habits and coping routines.
People who come to Holly often want to manage resentment, avoid outbursts with loved ones, or handle workplace frustration. She explains options plainly and makes a plan with measurable steps. To start, she asks a few questions about current concerns and what the person hopes to change.
Holly practices in Florida and offers services in English. Her work covers many concerns including trauma, caregiving stress, addiction issues, intimacy-related questions, and career strain. She uses her clinical experience to help people take steady steps toward clearer choices.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities. This helps when anger shows up in close relationships or at work because the conversation stays tied to the client’s main concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down specific thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety cycling. It uses simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers short, practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving moment-to-moment control, which can reduce impulsive reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video if that helps. Ask about scheduling and format details when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions match your daily life.
