About Holly

Dr. Holly DeGrand is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. She holds a doctorate in counselor education and supervision and a master’s degree in professional counseling.

She brings 16 years of experience as a clinician, educator, and supervisor. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people manage immediate problems and make lasting changes. Her practice focuses on anxiety and panic, stress, substance use, anger, and complex trauma.

She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, HIV, and issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community.

Background and approach

She helps with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and with challenges like low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She uses client-centered methods alongside trauma-focused work and solution-focused techniques. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is part of her toolkit for trauma-related concerns.

Sessions emphasize skill building, symptom management, and practical decision-making. Dr. DeGrand has worked in community clinics, non-profit settings, and independent practice.

She has taught master’s level courses, led professional workshops, and presented at national conferences. She draws on Adlerian, feminist-intersectional, and systems ideas to shape treatment in plain, concrete ways. She expects active participation and regular live sessions to make progress.

Messaging and text can be used for updates, but video or phone sessions are the main way she connects for skills practice and deeper work.

Online support

How EMDR and trauma-focused care translate online

Dr. DeGrand combines client-centered work with trauma-focused methods and EMDR-informed approaches to help people manage trauma, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs, helping with everyday stress and decision-making. Trauma-focused work targets the effects of traumatic experiences and uses structured techniques to reduce their impact on daily life. EMDR-related methods support processing distressing memories and often pair well with other trauma work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend an approach to try. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and she encourages regular check-ins to see what is working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill practice and guided trauma work. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or a busy home life, while keeping treatment consistent across time and place.
