Holly Partin, LPC

Holly Partin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She helps people build practical coping skills for mood swings, anger, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Her work also covers parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.

Holly emphasizes learning tools that carry into daily life. Clients often practice small changes that add up over weeks and months. Conversations may include values-based choices, ways to manage strong emotions, and steps to improve communication and boundaries.

She has supported people through life transitions such as divorce, adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and caregiving stress. Other areas of focus include body image, codependency, commitment or control issues, and compassion fatigue for caregivers.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided remotely to people in South Carolina. Holly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can pick formats that match their schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a person to care.

How specific approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a practical method that looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change them. It is helpful for worry, low mood, sleep problems, and many everyday stresses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on what matters most to a person and teaches ways to act on values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, grief, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can guide work on trust, communication, and closeness issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there, sessions can blend methods so the plan fits the person’s life and needs in a collaborative way.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick notes, ongoing support, or writing through thoughts between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and different schedules.
