About Holly
LCSW-C in Maryland with 15 years of experience, Holly Powell works with children, adolescents, and young adults on attachment, anxiety, trauma, anger, and related concerns. She uses a mix of client-centered methods and evidence-informed techniques to help people manage symptoms and reach practical goals.
Holly begins by listening to each person’s story and priorities. Early sessions are often client-centered and solution-focused to identify immediate needs. From there she adapts methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, or other approaches to match the goals that emerge in therapy.
She has substantial experience in settings that required flexibility, so treatment plans reflect what the person finds helpful. That can look like working on attachment patterns, building coping skills for anxiety or anger, or addressing trauma-related reactions with appropriate interventions. Sessions are paced to the client’s readiness.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, caregiver stress, domestic violence, mood and personality disorders, and self-harm behavior. She also supports people facing substance use issues, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and grief. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Holly conducts sessions in English and practices in Maryland as an LCSW-C. The first session focuses on understanding the most pressing concerns and agreeing on short-term goals. She encourages people to ask questions about approach and structure before they book a session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. In practice this means noticing how early connections shape reactions to stress and using that information to try different ways of relating and responding. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and problem-solving around life changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and work with you to select methods that fit. That collaborative planning includes regular check-ins to see what is helping and what to change.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them participate. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, attachment interventions, or EMDR-informed work to remote sessions, and Holly will discuss which methods are appropriate for your goals.
