About Holly
Holly Henderson brings a cognitive behavioral framework to her work while blending client-centered and emotion-focused practices to support people coping with mood, relationship, and trauma-related concerns.
Background and approach
She emphasizes helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders, while also attending to attachment and family-of-origin issues that influence current functioning. Holly frames therapy around strengths, respect, and encouragement, inviting clients to explore identity, grief, and life purpose as part of long-term healing.
With 19 years of experience across inpatient, crisis, residential, home-based, and community settings, she has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of environments.
Holly holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Florida with a minor in Women’s Studies and Gender Issues.
She is credentialed as an LMHC in Florida and an LPCC in California, and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Holly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and mood difficulties; CBT typically involves collaborative goal-setting and practical skills like cognitive reframing and behavioral experiments. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, offering a nonjudgmental, strengths-based stance that emphasizes listening and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore identity, self-esteem, and life purpose. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another influence, helping clients identify and process core emotions in relational and attachment concerns to improve intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Holly approaches that decision collaboratively. She reviews goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies with each person and adjusts interventions over time to match evolving needs.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows people to connect from their own locations. These formats support a range of activities from skills-based CBT exercises during video sessions to ongoing check-ins by messaging, allowing therapy to fit into varied routines while preserving continuity of care.
