About Holly
Holly Goodman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 30 years of practice. She works with individuals, couples, and families on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, communication, grief and loss, and work-life balance. Her practice also covers areas like addiction, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and family of origin issues.
She combines practical and insight-oriented methods in sessions. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, psychodynamic ideas to consider how past patterns affect now, and solution-focused work to set clear goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help making changes related to health, work, or substance use.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented. Holly listens for recurring patterns from childhood and family life that continue to shape reactions and relationships. She helps people name those patterns, try different responses, and track small changes between meetings.
She also offers coaching skills for work and life-balance concerns alongside clinical work. This can include practical steps for career decisions, time management, or setting boundaries at home. The overall aim is clearer thinking and more manageable next steps.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Holly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to work with recurring patterns and immediate problems. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and coping strategies. Psychodynamic ideas look at how early family roles and relationship patterns from childhood influence current reactions and relationships.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ready to make specific changes, such as addressing addictions or shifting work-life balance. That approach is practical and collaborative, helping clients weigh options and build commitment to a chosen course of action. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client decide together based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful in session.
