About Holly
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with 12 years of experience, Holly Hawkins works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she works only with New York residents.
Holly favors direct, person-focused work. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In session she listens, reflects, and helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes more than a decade helping people with co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. She has experience with assessment, referrals, care coordination, individual counseling, group work, couples counseling, and family counseling. That range informs how she plans support and problem-solving with each person.
Holly emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. Sessions often include skills practice, behavior changes, and techniques to manage strong emotions or cravings. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan when needed.
People who choose her can expect a straightforward approach that balances listening with concrete tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives. The therapist listens without directing, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide their next steps. This approach supports issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related patterns by breaking problems into concrete skills and practice tasks.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with anger, emotional regulation, and situations where strong reactions interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about session length and how to schedule regular appointments to fit everyday life.
