About Holly
Holly Goodman is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience helping people navigate hard times. She offers a calm, affirming presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Holly emphasizes collaboration and clear goals in each conversation.
Her work centers on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and addictions. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, and the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Holly brings attention to family dynamics, communication problems, and blending households when those issues are part of a person's life. Holly blends several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. Over three decades in North Carolina, Holly has guided people through career transitions, separation and divorce, fertility and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse. She pairs motivational techniques and gentle psychodynamic reflection to increase self-awareness and forward movement.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Holly helps people recognize patterns, set manageable goals, and try new ways of responding. Her approach is warm and direct, with an emphasis on what can change now rather than on long theoretical talks.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Holly commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as part of her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the person set their own priorities; it works well when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still using structured approaches that aim for real progress.
