Holly Karchaske is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around self esteem and career concerns. Holly speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She treats everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs instead of following a one-size-fits-all plan. Holly aims to build toward clearer goals and small, manageable changes over time.
Her background includes work across different settings in Colorado and Texas as a licensed professional counselor, LPC. That experience has given her familiarity with common difficulties like attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and problems with communication and codependency.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person, then helps them try concrete strategies to reduce worry, handle grief, and rebuild confidence. She supports people navigating life transitions such as divorce or career change, and those coping with substance concerns or post-traumatic stress.
Holly asks questions, offers straightforward feedback, and adjusts plans as progress is made. She encourages people to try new behaviors between appointments and to notice what helps. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process understandable and doable.
Approaches that guide online work
Holly describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches specific tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and activity planning. These tools are useful when worry or daily overwhelm makes it hard to function.
Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety and pacing. This involves helping people build readiness, process difficult memories gradually, and strengthen coping strategies before tackling deeper material. That approach can help those working through post-traumatic stress, grief, or abuse-related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Holly talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the client rather than the other way around.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it simpler to maintain regular check-ins, try brief focused sessions when needed, and work on skills in the context of everyday life.
