About Holley
Holley Brock is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses guilt and shame alongside issues like abandonment, body image, and caregiver strain.
Holley uses clear, practical talk to help people name what feels wrong and find manageable steps forward. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen without judgment, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help people set realistic goals and notice what changes work.
In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change next, not on labels. For someone carrying shame or guilt, that can mean untangling the story the person tells about themselves and trying small experiments to test new beliefs. With trauma work she uses Trauma-Focused approaches to address painful memories while keeping progress paced to the person’s tolerance.
Holley pays attention to how family history, cultural background, and role pressures affect emotions. She helps people practice clearer communication and set boundaries when relationships feel stuck. Practical strategies for coping and everyday stress management are a steady part of her work.
People who choose her can expect straightforward sessions that combine listening with concrete tools. To begin, the usual next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals can be made clear and a plan put in place.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify goals and values. Online sessions can still use this plain, responsive listening to help people sort through guilt, shame, and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to shift patterns. Delivered online, CBT often uses brief exercises between sessions and concrete worksheets to track progress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring ambivalence without judgment. That approach fits well with short check-ins and goal-focused planning during remote sessions.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
