About Holly
Holly Paine uses a flexible, evidence-informed approach that centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with influences from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. Holly is a Kansas LCPC with six years of clinical experience and a straightforward focus on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. Holly adapts methods to fit each person's needs.
Sessions are collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on skills you can use between appointments. Expect clear tools for managing worry, mood, and overwhelming thoughts alongside space to talk about identity, loss, or relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Holly aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment. Clients are welcomed to bring their whole selves to sessions and to move at a pace that feels right. The therapist encourages curiosity about values, meaning, and small steps toward change.
Besides core concerns like anxiety and depression, Holly supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, sexual and relationship diversity including kink and non-monogamy, and end-of-life questions. Concrete communication skills and strategies for impulsivity and panic are also part of the work. Therapy with Holly blends practical exercises, gentle exploration of personal stories, and mindfulness practices.
The goal is to help people notice what matters, build useful habits, and handle hard moments with more ease.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Holly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Holly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can fit during a commute or a short break, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health needs while still working on the same evidence-informed approaches.
