Holly Powell, LCSW-C

Holly Powell is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 15 years of practice experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes.

Holly uses a client-centered starting point. She often begins by listening and helping people set clear, manageable goals. From there she adapts methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, or mindfulness strategies to match what each person needs.

Her background includes work in settings where attachment and trauma issues were common. That experience shapes how she notices patterns in relationships and responses to stress. She pays attention to how early relationships and attachment can affect current parenting, relationship tensions, and emotional responses.

Sessions are usually practical and straightforward. People can expect to talk through specific concerns, try simple coping skills, and plan steps to change behaviors that feel stuck. When trauma is central, she may use approaches intended to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.

Holly aims to keep explanations clear and to help people practice new ways of handling daily demands. She works in English and provides care within Maryland. To begin, readers are invited to use the platform matching process and schedule a first session.
