About Holly
Holly Knapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She practices in Wisconsin and draws on long experience across outpatient, crisis, inpatient, residential, correctional, college, and community mental health settings. Holly presents as grounded and non-judgmental and focuses on building connection as the first step toward change.
She sees mental health as linked to many parts of life - emotional, physical, social, nutritional, medical, and spiritual.
Background and approach
Holly works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood issues like bipolar disorder. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and issues with anger and addictions. Holly uses practical, person-centered methods.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-based ideas to help clients learn new skills and change patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and real-life practice rather than jargon. Her style is collaborative and coaching-oriented when useful.
Clients can expect a warm, direct approach that balances listening with active tools for coping, emotion regulation, and building stronger relationships. Holly offers therapy formats that suit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she works in English for people located in Wisconsin.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework to build new habits and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Holly will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use elements from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and attachment-informed ideas to tailor a plan. The first sessions often focus on what matters most to the client and on trying simple skills to see what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels unnecessary, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to practice skills in real-life moments.
