About Holly
Holly Karchaske is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She is licensed in Colorado and Texas and helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and career questions.
Holly focuses on practical conversations. She listens for what feels stuck and helps people name what they want to change. Sessions aim to make small, usable shifts in thinking and behavior rather than only talking about problems.
Her work often covers relationship patterns such as codependency, communication problems, and attachment concerns. She also supports people facing adoption or foster care questions, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and recovery from substance use issues. Grief, guilt, shame, and midlife transitions are areas she regularly addresses.
Holly adapts the pace and topics to each person. She frames goals simply and checks progress as therapy continues. People meet to talk through coping skills, boundary-setting, and ways to rebuild confidence after difficult experiences.
Her background across Colorado and Texas settings gives her experience with different life stressors. To begin, she asks about what’s most pressing and what a better week would look like. That straightforward focus guides early sessions and shapes a working plan.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions work
Holly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. She often draws on approaches that teach concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, helping people notice patterns and try new behaviors in small steps. She also uses evidence-based strategies for trauma recovery, focusing on stabilizing reactions and building tolerance for difficult memories or feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Holly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and she will adjust methods as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps find strategies that fit someone’s life and pace.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins if needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with Holly when you schedule to confirm which session options are offered and what will best fit your routine.
