I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) working with individual, couples and families for over 28 years in North Carolina. Additionally, I hold a certificate in coaching which allows me to address employment issues, work-life balance needs and life coaching when needed. My practice has allowed me to help and support positive change for many people facing life's most challenging experiences. I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, communication and grief and loss on many levels. I believe in a positive and affirming approach to therapy. I am open-minded, warm and fully believe my clients have great value and opportunity for growth, change and improved perspective when taking advantage of what therapy has to offer.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy. I believe through my work, using compassion, education and motivational techniques I can help you improve mood, circumstances and self-awareness for better health and life satisfaction. Providing a safe emotional space for my clients to process their concerns is paramount to me. Understanding what you want and using an interactive, sensitive and caring approach is my goal to supporting you as you reach your goals.
The first steps toward change is understanding the need and seeking support. I am here for you and look forward to having the opportunity to provide you with a supportive therapeutic experience that is empowering and beneficial.

She had helped me navigate some situations that I don’t think I could have managed on my own. More importantly, she has taught me how to navigate those situations. Holly is a great listener and always seems to give wise and helpful feedback. I couldn’t be happier with her..

Talking with Holly the last several months has taught me so much about myself. Learning how to set boundaries, and care for my heart and my mental health above all else.

Holly lets me set the priority of the discussion for the session. She also takes notes and also brings up discussion topics from the last meeting to see if this still needs to be discussed. I enjoy research and Holly provides me with other subtopics to look into to go deeper in thought for the next lesson. She is positive, cheerful, encouraging of the steps I have made so far. She is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our meetings.

Holly has helped listen and guide me through such a transformational part of my life. She is super understanding and thoughtful. I really feel that Holly has my best interest in mind and will pays attention to every detail you tell her. She keeps it super professional while still making the space to talk nonjudgmental and safe. Highly recommend Holly to anybody seeking out a well experienced therapist and life coach.

Written on Jun 19, 2023 after therapy with Holly for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues
I am still early in my journey to better Me but from our very first session and each since Holly has been incredibly helpful, insightful, and able to start unwinding things to help understand my needs. I was hesitant to try therapy but now I look forward to my sessions and 'homework' and even take an extra session from time to time! Makes me wish maybe I'd reached out sooner.

Absolutely love Holly! She helped me with my anxiety and relationship difficulties. She gave me techniques to help cope with my verbally abusive relationship, and learn to redirect. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Holly is honestly the greatest. She will listen and understand your perspective on situations yet bring you back down to earth when it comes down to understanding reality. Iv had therapist before but nobody I felt connected with as I do her. 10/10

Holly has helped me tremendously through the toughest months of my life. Chatting with her weekly gave me a confidential, non-biased outlet to discuss my thoughts and feelings. Her positivity grew on me and she was able to give me many strategies/coping mechanisms to deal with depressing times. I would recommend Holly Goodman to anyone who is struggling with major life changes, depression, or anxiety
