About Holly
Holly Goodman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, addictions, parenting stress, and anger. Her practice also addresses career and life-coaching questions connected to work-life balance.
She uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps for changing unhelpful patterns and understanding the background of recurring problems. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make specific behavior changes.
Holly draws on long experience helping people manage transitions like divorce, blended family adjustments, caregiving and end-of-life issues. Practical issues such as sleep, eating concerns, and communication problems are part of her caseload. She also addresses more complex matters such as trauma, domestic violence histories, and bipolar-related coping strategies.
In sessions she aims for an interactive style that combines education with active problem solving. That can mean learning tools to reduce anger and stress, reviewing thought patterns that feed anxiety or depression, and setting small achievable goals between meetings. Coaching skills are available when employment or career planning is the focus.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Holly commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful behavior. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and goals to build momentum and solve immediate problems.She also uses motivational interviewing when clients want to make specific changes such as reducing substance use or improving work-life balance. That method helps clarify motivation and supports short-term behavior change through collaborative conversation. Choosing the best approach is part of the work; Holly will discuss options and adapt methods based on goals and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, worksheets and skills practice during virtual meetings to help with anger management, stress, sleep and relationship concerns.
