More about Holly
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 20 years of work experience. My special interest areas include stress management, anxiety, grief/loss, coping with life transitions, conflict resolution, relationship challenges, self-esteem and mindfulness. Life presents many challenges which can causes us to feel overwhelmed and distressed. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and comfortable space to help guide clients to work through their challenges in order to live a more fulfilling, authentic life.
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.
I believe you have the strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges in life. It takes courage to seek out support and you are worth it! If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
