About Holly
Dr. Holly Cabuhat is a California psychologist with thirteen years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, straightforward work that helps parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood concerns, and ADHD.
Her style is warm and interactive and she meets people where they are. She uses approaches that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and habits. Sessions often include problem-solving, goal setting, and learning new ways to respond in stressful moments.
Background and approach
That can look like practicing coping skills, trying new communication strategies, or planning small steps to reduce overwhelm. A lot of her work centers on family and parenting issues. She supports parents dealing with behavior and school concerns, helps with relationships under strain, and assists people navigating life transitions.
She has experience with autism spectrum concerns, executive functioning challenges, and advocating around education plans. Her background includes supporting people after trauma, addressing self-harm behaviors, and working on social anxiety and isolation. She brings patience and respect to those conversations and focuses on building concrete skills that make daily life easier.
Dr. Cabuhat tailors sessions to each person’s goals and strengths. She uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness tools to help people move forward.
She works in English and practices in California as CA Psychologist 26047.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for busy parents
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and helps clients identify their own goals and strengths to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means sessions can focus more on skill practice, on exploring motivation, or on calming and mindfulness work depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, homework support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options offer flexibility for parents balancing school, work, and appointments while keeping therapy practical and focused.
