About Holly
LPC in Georgia with six years of experience, Holly Varona focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She identifies areas of additional focus that include attachment and abandonment, body image and weight concerns, relationship and communication problems, and challenges related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.
Holly works from a humanistic perspective that draws on ideas from both Eastern and Western traditions. She mixes practical techniques with reflective conversation. Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, name difficult feelings, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Many people meet to process past trauma, religious trauma, cult recovery, or dissociation. Others come for help with chronic pain or illness, eating and food-related issues, and struggles around self-worth. She also supports those navigating divorce, blended family challenges, and commitment questions.
Holly names multicultural awareness as part of her work and has experience with people from a range of backgrounds. She notes work with LGBTQIA+ and consensual non-monogamy communities, and with those who identify within kink or alternative sex cultures. Her approach aims to respect cultural context while focusing on what the person needs now.
People start by describing what feels most urgent. From there she and the client choose techniques that fit that concern. Sessions tend to balance practical skills with exploration of early relationships and current behavior patterns.

How evidence-based techniques appear in online sessions
Holly describes her work as grounded in humanistic ideas and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Commonly used techniques in this framework include cognitive-behavioral strategies, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. These techniques help with worry, low mood, and relationship patterns.Another often used element is trauma-informed work that attends to how past experiences shape current reactions. This involves pacing conversations, building skills for managing intense feelings, and gradually processing difficult memories when the person is ready. These approaches are useful for trauma, dissociation, and recovery from abuse or religious trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to assess goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in practice.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, allowing appointments without travel and enabling shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also reduce the time needed for commuting so people can more easily keep regular meetings while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
