Hollis Greenspan

Hollis Greenspan is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping people navigate relationship and personal challenges. She frames work around mindfulness and self-awareness to help people notice the thoughts and habits that keep them stuck. Hollis aims to help people find more agency in their lives and make choices that fit their values.

Her approach grows from client-centered practice and psychodynamic ideas. She uses mindfulness and body-based noticing to help people name what they feel. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential perspectives to look at meaning, identity, and recurring patterns in relationships and mood.

Hollis has 11 years of clinical experience and trained in an advanced counseling program that emphasized transformation-oriented methods. She also holds a master's in social work and studied cultural anthropology at Tufts University, which informs her attention to culture and individual background. Her training includes practices that invite people to notice bodily sensations and the different parts of their personality.

She commonly supports people facing depression, anxiety, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar. She also works with concerns like abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness, aging, and life purpose questions.

In sessions she aims to be gentle, open-minded, and collaborative. Her practice is informed by Buddhist philosophy but she does not require any spiritual commitments. Hollis emphasizes practical self-care tools like sleep and nutrition alongside therapeutic work.

How Hollis's Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your experience and what matters to you. The therapist listens without judgment and helps you name goals and priorities. This approach suits people who want a supportive, personalized process.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. These practices can help with anxiety, stress, and patterns like rumination or emotional reactivity by building new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods feel helpful and which do not. Goals, preferences, and life demands guide how sessions unfold, and adjustments are made over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks and to keep continuity after life changes. Different formats have practical benefits like shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands, and easier scheduling around work or caregiving. Because session formats were not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
