Holly Allen, LPC

Holly Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. She brings nine years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and stress.

She uses straightforward conversation and a collaborative approach. Sessions are tailored to the individual, with clear goals and practical steps. Holly aims to make therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to start.

Holly commonly blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered methods. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and then works with them to try different behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Her experience includes addressing anger, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include obsessive-compulsive symptoms, dissociation, personality-related difficulties, postpartum depression, traumatic brain injury, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

Holly aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people feel heard. She adjusts the pace and tools to match each person's needs, whether that means skill-building exercises, structured thought work, or supportive listening. Starting therapy is a first step, and Holly works with clients to make the plan fit their life.

How Holly uses CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills online

Holly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, practical behaviors. CBT often focuses on homework-style steps, problem solving, and clear short-term goals for issues like anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, or stress.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, validation, and working at the client's pace. That approach is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities, process trauma, or build confidence. When emotional regulation is a primary concern, Holly incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practice to teach grounding techniques, distress tolerance, and communication strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single one-size-fits-all model.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill practice, phone calls can fit a short break from work, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging supports brief updates and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving commitments.
