More about Holly
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 20 years of clinical experience. My special interest areas include stress management, anxiety, grief/loss, coping with life transitions, conflict resolution, relationship challenges, self-esteem and mindfulness.
Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and my goal is to help clients navigate these difficulties and cultivate a more fulfilling, authentic life. My practice offers a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. By providing valuable tools and and insights, I help foster self-awareness, build resilience, nurture emotional well-being and create healthy ways of coping with life’s stressors. My treatment approach includes providing a collaborative counseling space for clients to build on their strengths, express their emotions, heal, develop coping skills, gain insight and find solutions or strategies to better manage life's challenges.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but investing in your well-being is one of the most meaningful forms of self-care.
If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
