Holly Taylor, LCSW

My therapy style is warm, conversational, practical, and strengths-based. I help patients identify what is working, clarify what they want to be different, and develop realistic steps toward meaningful change while providing support, humor, and a judgment-free space.

My approach to therapy is conversational, direct, and collaborative, with a healthy dose of humor. I believe therapy should be a place where people can speak openly, gain new perspectives, recognize their strengths, and find practical solutions to life’s challenges. I draw from solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other approaches to help clients identify what matters most to them and make meaningful changes. My clinical specialties include working with older adults, caregivers, individuals navigating grief, anxiety, and life transitions, as well as couples facing relationship challenges. I also have experience working with veterans, first responders, and law enforcement.

I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, who have made up a significant portion of my caseload since 2023. My work includes supporting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and queer patients, as well as couples with diverse relationship structures. I have experience addressing relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, identity-related concerns, and providing gender-affirming support.

Patients can expect a relaxed, conversational first session focused on getting to know them, what brings them to therapy, and what they would like to be different.  My patients often tell me that therapy feels like talking with a real person and that they appreciate my conversational, down-to-earth approach. I meet people where they are, use humor when appropriate, and focus on practical solutions and realistic next steps they can actually use in their lives.
