Holly Karchaske, LPC

Holly Karchaske is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and career concerns. She aims to make the first step feel doable and offers steady support as people work toward clearer goals. Holly practices with respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.

She adapts sessions to each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. That means talking through what matters most, trying ways to reduce overwhelming feelings, and building toward small, realistic changes. Conversations focus on what is useful now, like coping tools, clearer communication, and steps to rebuild confidence.

Holly also pays attention to issues that often show up alongside core concerns. These include adoption and foster care challenges, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and substance-related struggles. She notices how grief, shame, or isolation can affect day-to-day life and addresses those threads alongside the main problem.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Holly helps people set goals, try strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan when something isn’t working. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than sudden fixes.

Holly is licensed in Colorado and Texas as an LPC. She offers services in English and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Holly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes building coping strategies for stress and anxiety, teaching tools to reduce panic and reactivity and to improve daily functioning. Another approach targets trauma-related symptoms by helping people name what happened, reduce overwhelming reactions, and practice grounding and safety skills in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Holly will work with each person to identify goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She frames therapy as a team effort where feedback guides the next steps.

Because the original biography does not specify session formats, confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting appointments into busy schedules, reducing travel, and keeping consistent attendance during life transitions. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule appointments around work or caregiving duties, and maintain momentum between in-person visits when that is needed.
