About Holly

Holly Abbott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She guides people through tough transitions and emotional strain. Her work often centers on improving day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Holly draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She also helps with parenting concerns, grief, and problems tied to trauma and abuse. She emphasizes compassion and acceptance in sessions.

Her history includes roles in school settings, private practice, and local agencies, giving her experience with a wide range of life situations. Holly has worked with youth, adolescents, and adults from many backgrounds.

In session she keeps the focus on the person's goals. She blends client-centered talk with cognitive-behavioral strategies and solution-focused steps. She may add dialectical skills or motivational interviewing when those fit the situation.

Holly pays attention to practical changes people can try between sessions. That can mean communication exercises, coping skills for emotional moments, or steps to manage daily responsibilities. Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more in control.

Many clients seek help for relationship stress, ADHD concerns, career strain, and identity questions including LGBT issues. She also works around attachment, adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency challenges.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supported while they name goals and decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, builds skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication; it can help when strong emotions and relationship conflict are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding structured CBT exercises or DBT skills as those feel useful.

The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. If you want to avoid travel time, keep therapy during a lunch break, or prefer a shorter check-in without video, online options can help with those needs.
