Holly Henderson

Holly Henderson is a licensed mental health counselor who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses a client-centered approach to help people cope with life changes, manage depression and anxiety, and work through trauma. Holly brings 19 years of experience and a focus on helping clients find a clearer sense of identity and direction.

She trained in clinical psychology with a Master’s Degree from Antioch University Seattle and holds licensure as an LMHC and an LPCC. Over nearly two decades she has worked in inpatient settings, mobile crisis, triage, community and home-based counseling, residential programs, and telehealth. That variety informs a flexible approach in sessions.

Holly blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques. She also draws on mindfulness practices, communication skills, and family systems knowledge to address mood disorders, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and grief. Her style emphasizes respect, encouragement, and building on strengths.

In sessions she invites humor alongside serious work, and she frames therapy as a team effort. She often focuses on reducing symptoms so people can reconnect with their values and identity. Practical tools, clearer communication, and attention to patterns across family generations are common themes.

If you are navigating career changes, fertility or parenting stress, issues around intimacy or identity, or recovery from abuse, Holly aims to help you set and reach meaningful goals. To begin, use the Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to availability.

How Holly’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Holly integrates Client-Centered Therapy by listening closely and following the client's lead, offering respect and encouragement to help people find their own answers and identity. This approach supports work on life changes, self-esteem, and identity concerns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and individuals understand emotional responses and improve connection through clearer communication and tracking of feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Holly will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, emotion-focused work, mindfulness, or a blend of techniques.

Her biography lists messaging, video, and phone as session options, so check and confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend around work, fit a weekend morning slot, or use shorter check-ins when days are busy. They also allow continued momentum between in-person options and can help people maintain progress while handling life transitions.
