About Holly
Holly Goodman is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience in North Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, and related life challenges. Her practice includes help for addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, parenting strains, anger, and career matters.
She also addresses blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin struggles. Holly supports people dealing with fertility questions, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. Her background includes work across a broad range of emotional and practical problems.
Holly combines several therapeutic approaches when working with someone. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals. Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when they fit the situation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She uses coaching skills for workplace and life-balance issues alongside clinical methods. That means practical strategies, clearer communication, and steps toward manageable change rather than only long discussions.
People who come to her can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper exploration when needed. She describes the first steps as recognizing the need for change and getting support. Prospective clients in North Carolina should confirm the current session options when they schedule.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and encourages the therapist to listen and reflect. In practice this means sessions center the client’s concerns and personal goals, which can help with anxiety, relationships, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for managing worry, phobias, mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may shift as goals change or progress becomes clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Others prefer approaches that include structured exercises they can use between sessions. Discussing practical session length and structure during the first appointment makes it easier to match therapy to everyday life.
