About Holly
Holly Karchaske is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Colorado and Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Holly focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life more manageable when those problems get in the way.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and increase confidence. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Holly adapts the pace and topics so sessions address what feels most pressing in the moment.
Holly often helps people who are navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image, and caregiver stress. She also supports those facing chronic illness or pain, substance-related struggles, relationship and communication problems, and major life transitions like divorce or midlife change.
When trauma, grief, or shame are present, she offers steady, structured support that focuses on specific tools and steps rather than broad theory. Work may include learning anxiety-management techniques, practicing clearer communication, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Holly describes therapy as a collaborative process. She and the client set goals, check progress, and adjust the plan as needed. For people looking for straightforward, skills-focused help with anxiety, stress, and life changes, she offers practical, experience-based guidance.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Holly works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom relief. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete anxiety-management tools such as breathing, grounding, and graded exposure to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social situations. Another approach she uses focuses on grief and trauma processing through step-by-step techniques that help people manage strong feelings and regain everyday functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Holly reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress is tracked. That process is collaborative so the plan changes when a technique is not helping or when new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. They can also allow shorter or longer sessions when needed, and let people choose how they want to connect for a given meeting. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so the schedule and session length match your needs.
