About Holly
Dr. Holly DeGrand is a licensed professional counselor with a focus on practical, skill-based work. She uses clear, direct methods to help people manage anger, anxiety, stress, and substance use concerns.
Her approach suits people who want concrete tools and steady progress rather than vague talk. She earned a doctorate in counselor education and supervision and a master’s degree in professional counseling. Dr.
DeGrand has 16 years of experience in community clinics, non-profit programs, and independent practice.
Background and approach
She has also taught master’s level courses and led professional workshops. Her clinical work includes helping people with panic and mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She has extensive experience with LGBT clients, people living with HIV, and persons of color.
She also notes limits of scope and is transparent about areas she does not treat as specialized practice. In sessions she asks for active participation and regular live meetings. Typical sessions run about 45 minutes and happen at least every two weeks, with weekly meetings preferred for steady skill building.
Messaging is used for updates, and text sessions are offered in a limited way. Dr. DeGrand often combines client-centered techniques with trauma-focused methods and solution-focused work.
This mix supports short-term problem solving as well as longer work on trauma and patterns that feed anger or addiction. She typically replies to messages within 12 hours and helps clients set clear next steps.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. In practice she reflects concerns back, helps identify values and goals, and supports clients as they try new behavior. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used for trauma-related memories and intense reactions; it involves guided attention and processing to reduce the hold of distressing memories and related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and try approaches that match a client's goals, needs, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and EMDR-style processing. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between live sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people keep consistent meetings even with busy lives.
