Holley Kuhn, LCSW

Holley Kuhn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage major life changes and intense emotions. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Holley speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps families and individuals can use right away.

She trained with a Bachelor of Social Work from Troy University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. Over about a decade she worked mainly in medical settings. Much of that time she guided people through medical crises, diagnoses, hospice, and end-of-life concerns.

In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and solution-focused planning. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, talk through what matters most to them, and try small experiments that can change day-to-day life. The work is action-oriented but also responsive to each person’s pace.

Holley has particular experience supporting caregivers, older adults, and people facing family communication problems. She also assists those wrestling with forgiveness, life purpose, career shifts, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. Her background gives her direct experience with the stresses of long-term illness and the decisions families face.

People who want clear steps and warm, practical listening tend to do well with her style. She offers sessions aimed at immediate coping and at longer-term changes in how people think and act.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Holley commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to ease anxiety, low mood, and stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes attentive listening and shaping sessions around what the person finds most important. Solution-focused work is used to set small, achievable goals and build momentum through brief, practical steps.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Holley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan together with the client to find a better fit.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into real life. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter focused exchanges, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help people access consistent support without rearranging their whole schedule.
