About Holly
Holly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, trauma and life changes. She also helps with issues like anger, self-esteem, career stress, and adjustment after separation or loss.
Holly prefers short, clear conversations that focus on what is bothering a person now. She uses practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. That can look like practicing skills to manage strong emotions, learning ways to change unhelpful thinking, or trying small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. She combines skill-building with moments to process difficult events so people can feel steadier and make clearer choices. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented while allowing time to address painful experiences.
Clients often bring concerns tied to family life or parenting, including blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, codependency, and divorce or separation. Holly also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and problems tied to money or career stress.
She asks people to start by describing what matters most to them. Then she and the person set modest, practical goals and track progress over time. The focus is on usable skills and steady steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Holly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to ease symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship stress.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people become more aware of their reactions and reduce reactivity. These methods can be used to process traumatic memories in a measured way and to build steady coping strategies for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made, and she checks in regularly to see what is helping.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. When arranged, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy family or work schedules, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-in appointments when needed. Ask about available session lengths and ways to schedule that suit your routine.
