Holly Knapp, LPC, LMHC

Holly Knapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Wisconsin and brings a calm, grounded presence to sessions. Holly emphasizes connection and a practical path forward for people feeling overwhelmed.

She has worked in many settings, including outpatient clinics, crisis services, inpatient care, residential programs, correctional facilities, colleges, and community mental health. That breadth means she has seen many ways people cope and recover. She draws on that experience to match support to each person's needs.

Holly uses therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, experiment with small behavior changes, and clarify values that matter most. She keeps language plain and focuses on real, usable strategies.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, career strain, and body image or eating and sleeping problems. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.

Holly aims to be nonjudgmental and authentic. She works collaboratively so clients can build balance, meaning, and a life that feels fulfilling. The first step is a simple match and scheduling process to begin working together.

How Holly's Approaches Work Online

Holly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and learning to make space for difficult feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

She also integrates attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and build a trusting working partnership. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Holly will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
