Miyisha Hollis , LMFT

Miyisha Hollis is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and changes like grief or separation. She supports people working on self-esteem, anger, parenting challenges, and issues related to sexual identity and LGBT concerns. Miyisha practices in Nevada and offers work that centers the person in front of her. She uses straightforward conversations to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to clarify values, identify practical steps, and build coping skills. Miyisha adapts her approach to match the client’s needs rather than following a single method. Her work draws on several approaches including client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas. These tools are used to address addiction, trauma and abuse, communication problems, and co-occurring issues such as depression and substance use. Miyisha has nine years of clinical experience and understands the strains that come from career transitions, blended family dynamics, and first responder stress. She also supports people navigating nontraditional sexual cultures and intimacy concerns, including BDSM and kink topics, along with family of origin issues and fatherhood concerns. Therapy with Miyisha typically focuses on concrete goals and steady progress. She helps people rebuild identity after life changes, improve communication, and set achievable next steps. The approach is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on what a person can do between sessions.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name what matters most so they can make choices that match their values. This approach is helpful for rebuilding identity after life changes and for working through relationship and intimacy concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new actions that reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic coping like substance use. CBT often includes short homework tasks between sessions to build new habits.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier focus. It is often used alongside other methods to help manage stress, anger, and trauma symptoms in everyday life.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which approaches make sense based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That plan can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or shift schedules while keeping the focus on steady, goal-oriented work.
