Evidence-based approaches, delivered online with flexibility

Holly Bankston draws from established, skills-focused therapy models that can translate well to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another, then practice practical strategies that can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and day-to-day overwhelm.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. It often emphasizes values, mindful awareness, and building a more workable relationship with internal experiences, which can be helpful during life transitions or when patterns feel hard to break.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools for navigating intense feelings and relationship strain in a structured, learnable way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Holly collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the focus and pacing to fit what is most helpful.

Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent with care. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, creating options that can work around busy schedules and make support more accessible.
