About Lia
Lia Hollis is a licensed social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She has 15 years of clinical experience and works from a straightforward, compassionate stance. Lia aims to make sessions feel practical and approachable for people who are worried and unsure where to start.
She focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, relationship strain, communication issues, and caregiver stress. Lia also supports people facing trauma, depression, addiction concerns, and struggles tied to identity and sexual orientation.
Background and approach
Her work pays attention to how life events and losses shape current reactions. Lia uses clear, collaborative methods that center the person in front of her. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small action.
Client-centered practices keep the conversation grounded in each client’s priorities. Emotion-focused techniques help name and move through difficult feelings. She brings a trauma-aware perspective and emphasizes practical skills such as mindfulness and motivational strategies.
Sessions often include simple, doable practices to test between meetings. Lia avoids jargon and focuses on concrete steps people can use right away. Originally licensed in Michigan, Ohio, and Michigan again as a social worker, Lia combines her clinical knowledge with a calm, direct style.
People who want clear guidance and steady support during hard times may find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify what matters most, and take small steps toward those values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients lead the conversation so goals emerge from their own priorities. This approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort things out.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She aims to be collaborative, checking in about what feels useful and adapting techniques as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the original biography does not specify formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness exercises or carry out between-session tasks in real-life settings. Licensed professionals can guide the best way to use these benefits based on each person's schedule and needs.
