About Lia
Lia Hollis is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and geared toward practical change rather than labels.
Lia uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new responses. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered techniques to address feelings and behaviors.
She pays attention to how past wounds show up now. That can include abandonment, codependency, or family conflict that keeps repeating. Lia also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image worries, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
When someone is coping with anger, Lia aims to help them notice triggers and choose different actions. Conversations balance practical skills and attention to the emotions underneath the anger. She also works with related challenges such as substance use, domestic violence effects, and career stress.
Her work combines goal-focused steps and reflective listening. To start, a person fills out a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and values, then take committed action that fits those values. ACT can be useful for anger when a person wants to stop acting on immediate urges and instead respond in ways that match what matters to them.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to map out how emotions link to relationship patterns. EFT-style work helps people name feelings under the surface and practice new ways of expressing needs without escalating conflict. Mindfulness practice is used alongside these approaches to build awareness of bodily cues and impulse moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lia treats approach selection as collaborative - she will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That choice can shift as progress is made.
