About Holly

Holly Wells is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 41 years of professional experience. She focuses on family concerns, grief, parenting, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

Wells helps people navigate big transitions and relationship strains. She supports clients facing divorce or separation, trouble with communication, and the impacts of grief and loss. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, and issues often described as midlife crisis or finding life purpose.

Her practical approach centers on talking through current problems and identifying steps a person can try between meetings. Conversations look at behaviors, patterns, and what someone wants to change. The goal is to build confidence and clearer ways of responding to stressful situations.

Wells draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and keeps the focus on what is immediately useful. She helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and practice new skills. Parents can expect help with parenting challenges and balancing family responsibilities.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location. To start, choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Holly Wells uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure conversations and guide progress. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful behavior patterns and replacing them with small, practical changes to daily routines. This method helps with issues like low self-esteem, body image concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Another approach emphasizes skills practice - teaching communication strategies and problem-solving steps that clients can try between sessions. That kind of work is useful for parenting challenges, divorce and separation, and improving how people handle family conflicts.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Wells collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what’s helping and adjusts the plan as sessions progress.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about which session length and rhythm fit your schedule best.
