Holly Karchaske, LPC

Holly Karchaske is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She supports clients dealing with career questions and life transitions. Holly offers steady, respectful care and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. Sessions look at what is causing distress and what helps reduce it, then build on small, doable changes. Holly pays attention to how past experiences, including adoption or attachment issues, shape current relationships and responses.

Holly also works with people coping with chronic pain, illness, and disability, as well as those facing caregiver stress or isolation. She addresses substance use, codependency, communication problems, and the fallout of divorce or separation. Her approach includes supporting people through grief, shame, and forgiveness work when those themes arise.

Clients can expect a straightforward, compassionate style. Holly listens for strengths and practical patterns to change. She helps people set goals, try new strategies between sessions, and track what does and does not help.

Based in Colorado and licensed as an LPC in Colorado and Texas, Holly provides care in English. She encourages anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to reach out and learn more about beginning therapy.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills people can practice between sessions. For example, cognitive-based strategies help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low self-esteem. These techniques teach practical tools for stress management and clearer decision making.

Another common approach focuses on processing trauma and its effects on daily life. This work helps people name painful memories, understand how those memories affect current relationships, and develop safer ways to cope. It can be helpful for people dealing with post-traumatic stress, grief, or the fallout from abuse.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. A therapist will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. From there, they will try methods that fit the person and adjust as needed so the work feels useful and doable.

Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since they are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from their state without changing daily routines.
