Lia Hollis

Lia Hollis is a licensed therapist who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and other painful life moments. She holds LMSW and LISW credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Michigan. Lia aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and clear for someone seeking help.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to guide sessions. That means she pays attention to how past hurt affects daily life and helps people build coping skills and values-based action. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused work are woven in to help people notice feelings and strengthen emotional awareness.

In sessions Lia listens for what matters to each person and works at their pace. She focuses on practical strategies and on helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Topics she commonly addresses include self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes practice across multiple states and years supporting people through trauma, domestic violence, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Lia describes her style as respectful and collaborative, helping people set goals and try small changes between sessions.

How Lia's approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address how past painful events affect daily life. In practical terms this often means naming what feels stuck, learning coping strategies for strong reactions, and building steps to feel safer and more in control. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small actions aligned with those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what a person says, so they feel heard and can find their own next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lia will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites feedback, so treatment is tailored rather than fixed.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for brief check-ins or when video is difficult, while others support longer, deeper work; the therapist and client decide together which will work best.
