Holly Karchaske, LPC

Holly Karchaske is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado and Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and career-related struggles. Holly also addresses issues like adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and spoken dialog. She listens to what matters to the client and uses that to shape the next steps. Clients can expect conversations that move from understanding what happened to planning concrete changes for day-to-day life.

Holly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work with trauma, grief, and anxiety. She prefers methods that help people process difficult memories and practice new ways of responding to stress. She also helps people who are struggling with isolation, addiction, or relationship communication problems.

In sessions she pays attention to how past relationships or early experiences might still affect current feelings. That can mean looking at attachment patterns or family roles that keep someone feeling stuck. She helps people name those patterns and try different behaviors to see what shifts.

Holly invites practical steps alongside emotional conversation. She supports clients in building skills for everyday life, such as grounding strategies for anxiety, routines that ease seasonal low mood, and approaches to rebuild confidence after loss or separation.
