About Holly
Holly Keyser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy struggles, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses codependency and related patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and caretaking stress.
Holly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and to follow what matters most to them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going and to try practical changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when past harm continues to affect daily life.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Holly can be direct while also encouraging reflection on choices, limits, and values. She helps people name patterns like abandonment fears, attachment struggles, or dependent personality traits and then tries concrete steps to change them.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through grief, bipolar challenges, chronic illness, and life transitions like divorce or aging. She works with clients around body image, communication problems, and control issues as well as co-morbid mental and physical health concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided within Wisconsin practice parameters. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to what each person says matters most and following their lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks what the client wants to address, and adapts pace and focus to the person’s priorities. It is useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship worries, and feeling lost in caretaking roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependent patterns such as automatic people-pleasing. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to shape reactions and relationships and involves careful work to reduce those ongoing effects.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Holly will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific online options were not listed. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If a client prefers less time on camera or a quicker phone check-in, discuss those needs during the matching process so the first session can be planned accordingly.
