About Holly
Holly Powell is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, mood concerns, and related challenges. Her background includes work with children, adolescents and young adults, and she brings that experience to conversations with adult clients.
Holly starts by listening and using a client-centered approach. She often begins with solution-focused conversations to identify immediate goals. From there she adapts methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to fit what the person needs.
Her work includes helping people manage anger that shows up at home or work, cope with grief, handle mood swings, and reduce symptoms of anxiety or panic. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment concerns, ADHD, addictions, and issues tied to adoption or foster care.
Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. Holly uses tools to spot unhelpful thought patterns, practice new behaviors, and calm intense reactions. EMDR is part of her toolkit for addressing trauma when appropriate.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation rather than jargon. Holly aims to make sessions useful for daily life by teaching skills that can be tried between meetings. To begin, follow the site steps to see online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Holly blends therapy methods for online work
Holly commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current reactions and helps people notice patterns in their responses. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change them.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Holly will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the approach over time if something isn’t helpful. The process is about finding what actually helps in day-to-day situations.
Confirm current online session options before booking using the site steps. Once confirmed, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet from a quieter place or use audio-only when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools over video or phone, and Holly adapts exercises so they work across the available formats.
