01About Holly
Holly Paine is a Kansas-based counselor who draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and loss. Holly holds the LCPC credential and brings six years of professional experience to sessions. Their style aims to be open and nonjudgmental so people can be themselves while they talk through hard things.
Holly leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. They combine that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy skills to help people clarify values and take action that matters.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and client-centered practices are used to slow things down and make room for difficult emotions. Sessions often focus on practical steps for coping with panic, social anxiety, and mood problems. Holly also supports people navigating grief, gender dysphoria, and issues related to LGBT identity.
There is experience addressing ADHD-related challenges such as impulsivity and concentration difficulties. Holly works with people who want help around sexuality topics including BDSM, kink, and non-monogamous relationship structures. They also help those facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and end-of-life concerns.
Conversations in the room are collaborative and paced to each persons comfort. Holly aims to listen with unconditional positive regard and to help clients build skills they can use outside sessions.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps aligned with what matters to them; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and values-driven changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and practicing concrete skills to change them, which often helps with panic, social anxiety, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to build trust and personal insight.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt worked before. Together they adjust techniques over time so the approach fits the individual rather than the other way around.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when short, frequent contact is helpful. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people choose what fits their daily routines.
