About Lia
Lia Hollis, LMSW, LISW, is a licensed social worker practicing in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions.
Lia helps people talk through painful experiences and find practical steps to feel steadier. Sessions commonly cover coping strategies for anxiety and depression, ways to process grief and trauma, and supports for relationship and intimacy concerns. She also addresses addictions, parenting strains, and workplace stress in direct, skills-based conversation.
Her work blends present-focused methods and attention to emotional experience. That can mean learning specific exercises from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, practicing mindfulness skills, or using Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools to understand feelings in relationships. Motivational Interviewing may appear when people want help making behavior changes.
Lia emphasizes collaboration on goals and methods. She listens for what matters most, then suggests practical steps and homework to try between sessions. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins and adjustments to the approach.
Clients can expect a straightforward style with attention to identity and life context. Lia draws on 15 years of experience to support recovery from trauma, manage mood and anxiety, and address relationship and addiction-related concerns. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching and scheduling flow to arrange a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small, value-consistent steps despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients can explore choices and build self-understanding; it supports issues like self-esteem and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and express core emotions that shape relationship patterns and can be useful for intimacy-related problems and communication difficulties.Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Lia will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful in early sessions. That collaborative process guides whether more skills practice, emotional processing, or motivational work is emphasized.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow brief phone or video check-ins when schedules are tight. These practical benefits can help maintain momentum between sessions and make it simpler to try the approaches described above in real-world situations.
