Holly Powell, LCSW

Holly Powell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing addiction, career strain, caregiver stress, and challenges related to bipolar disorder. Holly approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on everyday skills you can use between meetings. She listens first, then works with you to set practical goals and steps you can try right away.

Holly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. She also uses client-centered techniques to follow each person's priorities and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when stronger emotion regulation tools are needed. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to build awareness and sustained change.

Over eight years in practice she has worked with people facing trauma, family problems, codependency, abandonment and attachment issues, and first responder stress. She tailors conversation and plans to each person's situation rather than using one fixed method.

Sessions are offered from Florida and conducted in English. Holly aims to create a clear plan, teach practical tools, and support people through the difficult first steps toward change.

Approaches suited to online care and life demands

Holly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and experiment with different responses. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means conversations follow the person's priorities and pace. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when stronger emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools are helpful for intense feelings or relationship strain.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the challenges they face, and then collaboratively try approaches that fit. Changes are tested and adjusted over time rather than assumed from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can fit a break at work, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
