About Miyisha

Miyisha Hollis is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, and issues tied to sexuality and identity. Miyisha brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on understanding each person’s values and goals.

She has nine years of clinical experience and works with people from many backgrounds, including clients who face first responder stress, career transitions, and the pressures of high-level athletics. Miyisha emphasizes clear steps that fit into everyday life rather than one-size-fits-all answers. She listens first, then tailors methods to what an individual needs in the moment.

Miyisha uses a mix of approaches to help people move forward. She draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients notice and tolerate strong feelings. She also uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.

In sessions she collaborates with people to set realistic goals and small steps toward change. She addresses topics such as abandonment, codependency, co-occurring problems, blended family stress, and challenges around BDSM and kink without judgment. Miyisha aims to help people rebuild identity and confidence after major life changes.

Her Nevada license is LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and physical sensations without getting swept away by them, which can ease anxiety and improve emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and values, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration guides treatment plans and the pace of work.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also offer choices like using video when visual cues matter or phone when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises and CBT tools to remote sessions so practical skills are still practiced between meetings.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
