About Holly
Holly Recher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also helps people dealing with guilt and shame, forgiveness, attachment concerns, and issues around body image and eating.
Holly uses practical, evidence-based approaches in sessions. She focuses on managing strong emotions, reducing harmful coping behaviors, and improving communication. Conversations include clear, step-by-step strategies for handling urges, conflict, or flashbacks and for building steadier routines.
Her background includes work in programs that serve people with co-occurring disorders and addiction. That experience informs relapse prevention, motivation to change, and navigating separation or divorce while staying emotionally regulated. She has worked with individuals in different settings and with different levels of need.
In sessions she often introduces tools for emotional regulation and for shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. She may teach grounding and mindfulness skills alongside behavioral strategies to reduce risk and increase stability. The focus is on small, doable changes that fit into daily life.
People seeking help for longstanding shame, a recent loss, or ongoing substance use can expect a direct, practical approach. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit personal circumstances.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Holly draws on trauma-focused methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to address symptoms that follow abuse or overwhelming experiences. Trauma-focused work helps identify triggers and reduce reactivity, while cognitive behavioral tools target the thought patterns that keep guilt and shame active.She also often uses skills from dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those techniques are practical: short exercises to manage intense feelings, steps to reduce risky behavior, and reminders for steadying routines that support recovery from addiction.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try strategies that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful in weekly work together.
