Lia Hollis

Lia Hollis is a licensed social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. Lia has 15 years of experience and works with adults who are dealing with depression, grief, trauma, substance concerns, and relationship or parenting stress.

Her approach centers on listening first and then working together on clear goals. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy guide how she holds strong emotions and improves important relationships.

Lia holds LMSW and LISW credentials and practices in Michigan. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, domestic violence, blended family issues, and coping after disasters. She also supports people navigating career change, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she draws on motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change and to set realistic steps forward. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s situation, with a focus on skills that can be used in daily life. The tone is respectful and strengths-based, with attention to cultural and identity needs.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How Lia’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body, which can help with stress, panic, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts tools and pacing as therapy continues.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then reflect on those experiences with the therapist. Licensed professionals can guide toward approaches that suit a person's schedule, mood, and daily demands.
