About Lia
Lia Hollis is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 15 years of experience. She practices in Michigan and helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and related concerns such as social anxiety and addiction.
Lia focuses on practical conversations and steady skill-building. She listens for what is most urgent and breaks problems into clear, manageable steps. Sessions emphasize real-life tools people can try between meetings rather than long theoretical discussions.
Her work draws on multiple approaches that fit different kinds of problems. Lia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and make values-based choices. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness practices appear when stronger emotion regulation or present-moment noticing is helpful.
Lia has experience supporting people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family stress, caregiving strain, and problems tied to substance use and recovery. She also addresses anger, self-esteem, career strain, and burnout like compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with trauma and domestic violence concerns.
Sessions are offered in English from her Michigan practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients follow the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that work well for remote sessions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to values-based actions, which often leads to short practice tasks and brief check-ins that fit well into busy days. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s experience and pacing, allowing conversations to follow what matters most in each session.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when stronger emotional processing is needed. EFT aims to help people name and work with difficult feelings so they can change how they relate to themselves and others. These methods can be adapted to remote work by focusing on small experiments and emotion-focused exercises between meetings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lia will discuss methods and tools during early sessions and adjust based on the client’s goals and preferences. That might mean more skills practice, more reflection, or a mix of approaches selected together.
The site indicates that sessions are organized through a subscription model and cost varies with location. Specific session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or making scheduling around work and family responsibilities simpler.
