About Holly

Holly Keyser is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles, depression, addictions, and relationship or family worries. She also helps people dealing with grief, bipolar concerns, and issues connected to identity and sexual orientation.

Holly uses a person-centered approach alongside cognitive behavioral strategies. She talks with clients about what matters most to them and then helps test small changes that can shift patterns of thinking and behavior. Sessions can include exploring painful memories, practicing different ways to communicate, and learning how to respond differently to triggers.

Her practice includes a focus on abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment problems, and dissociation. She is experienced in supporting people through divorce, separation, and the stresses that follow disasters or major life changes. Her background includes many years working with survivors of abuse.

In session she blends listening with practical steps. Conversations can be direct when needed, and she will also offer gentler, reflective moments. Her approach aims to be straightforward and human rather than full of jargon.

People who prefer telephone sessions should confirm current formats before booking. All services are provided in English and based in Wisconsin by an LPC who has worked in clinical settings for over two decades.

How Holly adapts Client-Centered, CBT, and Trauma-Focused work for remote care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to change distressing patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing painful memories and teaching ways to manage strong reactions and triggers.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Holly will talk with each person about their goals and how they prefer to work. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and understanding, skills and experiments, or trauma-focused work, and that plan can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments during periods of illness or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals and therapists use these practical benefits to help clients maintain continuity of care while they work on guilt, shame, trauma, and related concerns.
