About Holly
Holly Hawkins is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, addictions, and challenges like relationship strain and career concerns. Holly aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start coping better sooner.
Holly uses a client-centered style that keeps conversations focused on each person's goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used to build emotion regulation and reduce reactivity. With 12 years of experience, Holly has supported people through substance use and mood concerns, trauma, and major life changes. She emphasizes a respectful, patient approach that looks for strengths to build on.
Sessions are geared toward solving real-life problems and creating habits that fit a client's daily routine. Holly works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical steps toward them. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and keep moving forward.
Conversations are direct but empathetic, with a focus on what someone can do between sessions. Practically, Holly meets with clients using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She only provides services to people who live in New York.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspectives. It involves active listening and working at the client’s pace to build insight and direction, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. These tools are useful for managing intense emotions like anger and for improving interactions with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift over time as goals change and progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can make it easier to share thoughts in the moment. Together, these options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, commute, or other routines.
