Dr. Carrie Holl specializes in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  CBT is a skill-building therapeutic approach that teaches people how to respond differently to stress, mood symptoms, and life events such that distressed is reduced and effective coping is enhanced.  The approach is active, dynamic, collaborative, and primarily here and now focused.  People are empowered to develop a skill-set to use during active treatment and later in daily life.

Research demonstrates that CBT not only can significantly reduce current symptoms, but also has been credited with lasting, positive effects and preventative components.

If a strict CBT approach is not warranted, these skills can also be introduced within the context of supportive counseling.
