About Holly
Holly Powell is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and life changes. Holly also supports people facing mood and relationship challenges and other concerns listed in her practice focus.
She began her career in settings that served children, adolescents, and young adults, and that background shaped her interest in attachment and trauma. Over time she adapted a practical mix of methods to meet different needs. That means sessions often start with a client-centered, solution-focused stance and then shift to approaches that match the person's goals.
Holly uses cognitive behavioral tools when people are trying to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She applies motivational interviewing techniques to help people find personal reasons to make changes. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas when patterns in close relationships are part of the problem.
She reports a relaxed, calm manner in sessions and aims to make the work straightforward. Conversations typically focus on clear, usable steps rather than abstract concepts. Holly encourages people to set concrete goals and to practice small changes between sessions.
People come to her for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, for trauma processing, and for ongoing stress and mood concerns. Before booking, confirm current session options so arrangements fit each person’s routine and needs.
How Holly’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bond experiences shape reactions. Online sessions use discussion and practical exercises to identify those patterns and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and anxiety. In sessions the therapist helps people test new ideas and practice small behavior changes between meetings. EMDR supports processing of traumatic memories through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall; when appropriate it is used to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Holly will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a client-centered conversation, adding CBT skills, or bringing in trauma processing tools if the person wants that path.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer full-length sessions for deeper work. Discuss format and timing when you schedule so sessions match daily life and therapeutic goals.
