About Holly

Holly Bankston is an LPC based in Texas who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. She creates a compassionate, practical environment where clients can explore patterns, learn coping strategies, and work toward clearer priorities and healthier connections.

Background and approach

Holly emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building to help people navigate transitions and reduce the impact of persistent worries or unhelpful habits. With 17 years of clinical experience, Holly draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She blends acceptance- and mindfulness-based strategies with structured cognitive work and emotion-focused interventions to help clients move through painful feelings, improve communication, and strengthen personal values. Her practice offers flexible scheduling including evenings, weekends, and holidays to accommodate busy lives, and she accepts new clients for timely appointments when available.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Holly often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and helps clients identify personal values to guide meaningful action. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, shift moods, and change behavior.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which approaches match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so treatment feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend appointments around work or family commitments and to use brief check-ins or messaging when that format fits better than longer sessions.
