Holly Allen

Holly Allen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wyoming who centers her work on mindful, person-focused care. She uses mindfulness alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, and low mood. Her approach is calm and practical. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused on what you need right now.

Holly has nine years of experience supporting people through relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. She also helps with anger, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and mood differences such as bipolar disorder. She listens first, then tailors tools and strategies to fit each person’s situation.

In sessions she blends simple mindfulness practices with client-centered listening and CBT-style skills. That might mean learning grounding techniques, noticing thought patterns, or trying a new way to respond to stress. She can also incorporate DBT skills when managing strong emotions or building toleration strategies.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, obsessive-compulsive patterns, dissociation, and various personality-related difficulties. She also has experience with postpartum depression, sexual assault and abuse, traumatic brain injury, and related challenges.

Holly aims for an approachable, respectful tone in therapy. New clients start by sharing goals and priorities, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Holly’s approaches fit online therapy

Holly draws on mindfulness practice to help people notice bodily sensations and calm reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and trauma symptoms. Mindfulness work often involves short exercises in breathing and attention that are easy to practice between sessions.

She also uses client-centered principles that focus on listening and adapting to each person's needs. That means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and adjusts the pace and goals collaboratively. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes to improve mood and functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find it simpler to try mindfulness exercises between meetings and bring reactions back to session for problem solving.
