About Holly
Dr. Holly Cabuhat is a California psychologist who uses practical, person-centered methods to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She draws on 13 years of clinical experience and focuses on straightforward, collaborative work that aims to make everyday life feel more manageable.
Her sessions are warm and interactive. She listens first, then helps people notice how thoughts and behavior shape mood and reactions. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are also used to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. Dr. Cabuhat brings particular experience with parenting challenges, adolescent concerns, attention and organizational struggles, and mood disorders.
She has supported people dealing with depression, social anxiety, relationship strain, and self-esteem issues. She has also worked with those navigating autism and Asperger syndrome, body-image concerns, and impulsivity. Practical problem solving and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when clients need help setting goals and staying on track.
She can also assist people who are coping with trauma histories, self-harm urges, or feelings of isolation by building step-by-step safety and coping plans. Her style stays respectful and nonjudgmental throughout. Sessions aim to teach skills you can use between visits.
She helps clients practice techniques for managing anger, improving communication, and handling daily stressors. The work is paced to each person’s needs and goals.

Practical skills and therapy online
Dr. Cabuhat often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches concrete techniques to recognize and shift thought patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help with emotional regulation and impulsivity when those are concerns. DBT skills include grounding, distress tolerance, and interpersonal strategies that reduce reactivity and improve decision making. Together these approaches give both understanding and hands-on tools people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth skill teaching and role-play, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins or shorter coaching between appointments. This variety helps people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
