Holly Perry is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. Holly aims to build a supportive, affirming space where clients feel heard and respected.

Background and approach
Holly listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to try different responses. Her work pays attention to issues that can make life feel unsafe or confusing, such as trauma, abandonment, and codependency. She also supports people navigating sexual identity and alternative sex culture, as well as those coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.
Problems like substance use, domestic violence, and separation are also within her focus areas. Holly blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. She uses motivational interviewing to help clients find reasons to change and to strengthen commitment to small goals.
The therapist adapts these tools to each person’s pace and priorities. People who prefer clear goals, practical steps, and a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation will likely find her style a good fit. She offers several online formats to make sessions fit busy lives and different needs.
How her approaches translate to online care
Holly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities, helping them feel accepted and able to talk honestly about difficult topics. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Holly works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She will check in and adjust techniques over time so the work feels useful and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in during a busy day, and text messaging supports people who prefer short, ongoing contact. These options aim to make scheduling easier and to keep therapy accessible for varying needs and life demands.
