About Holly

Holly Henderson is a licensed mental health counselor who uses an existential perspective to help people make sense of their lives. She combines person-centered care with practical tools to address depression, anxiety, trauma, and questions about identity. Holly offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Holly earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Florida.

Background and approach

She holds the LMHC and LPCC credentials and has nearly two decades of experience in diverse clinical settings across inpatient, crisis, residential, home-based, and community counseling. In sessions she emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered stance. She provides steady support, respect, and encouragement while helping people identify values and meaning.

Practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are used to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Holly also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and family-systems knowledge when relationships or family history shape present struggles. She pays attention to attachment, communication patterns, and how past losses or trauma affect current functioning.

Humor and straightforward talk are often part of the work. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, panic, grief, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set goals and choose the techniques that fit their situation.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging appointments that match the therapist’s available times.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Finding Meaning

Holly uses an existential approach that focuses on questions of meaning, identity, and purpose. This helps when people feel stuck, empty, or unsure who they are after big life changes. She also practices client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, respect, and helping clients set their own goals while the therapist follows their lead.

She pairs those perspectives with cognitive behavioral therapy when practical symptom relief is needed. CBT offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms while other deeper themes are explored. Together these approaches let sessions move between real-world coping skills and deeper conversations about values and identity in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when that is helpful. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat offer ongoing support and shorter, more frequent contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity of care when schedules change.
