Holly Ellison, LMHC

Holly Ellison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. If stress, anxiety, anger, or changes in life are getting in the way, she helps clients sort priorities and learn skills to cope.

Holly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and track progress over time.

Her background includes more than 11 years of clinical experience in community and hospital settings. That has included individual and group work, school-based and in-home services, and both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care. She has supported people working on anxiety, panic, impulse control, self-esteem, grief, and career or parenting stress.

In sessions she emphasizes practical coping skills. Clients can expect clear steps to manage panic attacks, reduce overwhelm, or improve communication. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Holly offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences. She works with adults in English and practices from Florida as a Florida LMHC.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Holly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches coping skills that can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms over time.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the pace and goals of therapy around their priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to share thoughts between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
