About Holly P. Markley, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing therapy for adults navigating chronic illness, trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. My work focuses on helping clients develop greater emotional clarity, nervous system stability, and a more grounded relationship with themselves.
I provide a steady, supportive environment where clients can safely explore their experiences at their own pace. Many of the individuals I work with feel overwhelmed by ongoing stress, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from managing emotional and physical challenges.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand your internal experiences, reduce emotional distress, and build greater resilience and self-trust.
I bring over 20 years of experience across school, community mental health, and outpatient settings, including work with trauma, anxiety, grief, and chronic illness.
Clinical Approach and Training
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and integrates evidence-based and experiential approaches to support emotional healing and nervous system regulation. I help clients develop greater awareness of their internal experiences, understand emotional patterns, and build more adaptive ways of responding to stress.
I incorporate parts-informed work, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation strategies. My approach also draws from established therapeutic frameworks such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which support emotional regulation, behavioral change, and increased psychological flexibility.
Therapy is collaborative and paced according to your individual needs, with a focus on creating safety, clarity, and lasting emotional change.
I understand that starting therapy can feel like an important and sometimes difficult step. My goal is to provide a consistent, respectful, and supportive space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.
