Lia Hollis, LMSW, LISW

Lia Hollis is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues tied to trauma and addiction. She works with those navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career shifts, and identity questions linked to LGBT experience. Lia aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She uses person-centered care and listens for each person's priorities before suggesting a path forward. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, not a predetermined checklist. Lia also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and build small habits that relieve daily pressure.

Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to map and work with relationship emotions. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels stuck or uncertain to help people find their own reasons to move forward.

Lia holds LMSW and LISW credentials and brings about 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in Michigan and pays attention to cultural and contextual factors that shape each person’s situation. Sessions are offered in English.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small, values-based steps even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where decisions feel heavy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's lead so they feel understood and can clarify their own goals. This approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to how emotions shape relationship patterns and helps people identify and shift those patterns to improve connection and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She often combines elements from these approaches rather than using a single technique, and she adjusts the plan as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone avoid heavy commuting. It also makes it simpler to continue care during life changes or relocation. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing, homework, and mindfulness exercises so the work fits into everyday routines.
