Holly Knapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Wisconsin and brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Holly emphasizes connection and simple, practical steps people can use right away.

She approaches care in a whole-person way, looking at emotional, physical, social, nutritional, medical, and spiritual factors that affect wellbeing. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to the individual. Holly uses straightforward conversation to help people process hard feelings and make changes they can keep.

Her work often centers on stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns related to identity and LGBT matters. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and addictive behaviors. Holly includes attention to attachment, abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and other life stresses when they affect daily functioning.

Holly draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and reduce unhelpful patterns. Sessions are practical, paced to the person's needs, and guided by the client's goals.

People who want clear, compassionate guidance and a focus on meaningful life changes may find her style helpful. Holly aims to support growth and balance in ways that fit each person's situation.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. In an online session this looks like identifying personal goals and practicing small actions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and provides simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often includes brief exercises, thought records, and action plans to use during the week. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can be practiced in short, guided exercises during sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach stays practical and useful for everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are good for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the chosen therapeutic tools.
