About Holly
Holly Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to find practical steps clients can try between sessions. Holly aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives and worried parents.
She draws on approaches that help people name what’s hard and then practice new responses. That can mean learning skills for stress and mood, building routines that reduce overwhelm, or focusing on small changes that make family life easier.
Background and approach
Holly favors straightforward plans that fit day-to-day demands. Holly has a decade of counseling experience in Texas. Over that time she has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, life changes, relationship strain, and career or money stresses.
She also helps with issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, and divorce and separation. Therapy sessions mix problem-solving and skill-building. Holly uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy along with mindfulness and solution-focused tools.
For trauma-related work she uses trauma-focused methods tailored to a person’s pace and tolerance. Her goal is to work collaboratively so clients leave with clear options and doable steps. Sessions can include practical coping skills, emotion regulation tools, and short-term plans for parenting or relationship challenges.
Holly encourages steady progress rather than sudden fixes.

Approaches for online parenting and life challenges
Holly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques during online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help with stress, emotion regulation, and staying present during parenting or relationship moments.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills are practical tools for handling strong feelings, managing anger, and reducing impulsive reactions in day-to-day life. Holly treats choice of approach as a joint decision and adjusts methods to match each person's goals and pace.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick ongoing skill practice between appointments. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and relevant to real life.
