About Holly

Holly Perry is an LPC who has spent more than 21 years guiding people through difficult emotional and life transitions. Based in Louisiana, she combines client-centered care with practical therapeutic tools to help clients make meaningful changes and manage persistent stressors.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns, with attention to more specific issues like attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and HIV/AIDS. Holly emphasizes a supportive, affirming atmosphere where individuals can examine feelings of shame, guilt, and codependency while developing healthier coping strategies.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen motivation for change. Clients who are navigating relationship difficulties, substance use struggles, or identity-related concerns may find her approach focused on practical skill building and collaborative problem solving.

Throughout her practice Holly aims to foster resilience and self-compassion, guiding each person toward clearer goals and sustainable strategies for wellbeing. Her methods prioritize the client’s perspectives and goals while offering structured tools to support recovery, growth, and improved day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Holly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for problem solving and coping. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques that focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support people facing strong emotions or relationship difficulties. When motivation for change is a central issue, Motivational Interviewing helps explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to goals through collaborative conversation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly discusses goals, preferences, and life context with each person to tailor the mix of strategies that will best support their needs, and she adjusts methods as progress or priorities change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, continue work during transitions, or maintain support when travel or busy routines would otherwise interrupt care.
