About Holly

Holly Abbott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience in Georgia. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, parenting challenges, and anger. Holly also addresses issues like grief, intimacy problems, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD.

Before focusing on private practice she worked in schools and with local agencies, gaining experience with adolescents and individuals from varied backgrounds. That range shaped her practical, straightforward approach to common life problems.

Holly uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, try new skills, and test small changes that reduce stress or reactivity. Conversations are meant to be direct and usable between sessions.

She emphasizes clear goals and short-term tools when people want them, and deeper reflection when that fits. For someone snapping at family, struggling with resentment at work, or coping with a past hurt, Holly focuses on what helps reduce tension and improve daily functioning.

Her style is approachable and practical. Sessions combine skill practice, problem-solving, and exploration of values so people can make steady changes they notice in life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Holly often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the person to set their own goals and next steps.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for moments when strong emotions feel overwhelming. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Holly will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the focus based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to decide whether skills training, problem-focused work, or deeper reflection is the best fit.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins around work breaks, or sessions that don’t require travel. Talk with Holly about practical needs like timing and session length so therapy fits into everyday routines.
