About Holly
Holly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people move through hard moments. She listens first and helps parents and adults find practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and cope with loss. Her style is calm and direct so people can feel understood and get to work on change.
Holly uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking.
Background and approach
She teaches mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and to build moments of calm during a hectic day. When trauma or painful past events are present, she applies trauma-focused techniques to help process memories and reduce their power over daily life. Her work is collaborative and goal oriented.
Sessions often include skill practice, short experiments between meetings, and check-ins on progress. Holly helps people sort priorities, manage anger, and rebuild self-esteem after loss or relationship strain. With ten years of experience practicing in Texas, Holly blends practical strategies and supportive conversation.
She aims to make therapy useful and approachable for people juggling family, work, and parenting responsibilities. People often come for help with grief, depression, panic, life transitions, career stress, or family conflict. Holly helps clients develop plans they can use outside sessions so gains stick and daily life gets easier.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and then try small experiments to change those patterns. It works well for mood challenges, stress, and problem-solving in daily life. DBT offers practical coping skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions; it is useful when strong emotions or anger get in the way of relationships or goals.Holly will work with each client to decide which approach fits best. She treats the choice as a collaboration - discussing goals, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan together. The focus is on approaches that produce useful skills and clearer thinking for the client's real-life challenges.
Online therapy provides flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face; phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting responsibilities while using CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed tools in regular practice.
