About David
Dr. David Hollis offers counseling rooted in practical, evidence-based techniques and a faith-informed perspective. He practices as an LMHC in New York and focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, low self-esteem, and career challenges.
He aims to create straightforward, respectful conversations that help people move forward. He brings four years of professional experience to sessions and adapts his approach to each person. Sessions draw on proven therapeutic methods tailored to a client's needs, with attention to emotional safety and clear goals.
Background and approach
He also integrates Christian counseling when clients want faith to be part of the work. Common concerns he addresses include depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, parenting strain, and problems around communication, divorce, forgiveness, and life purpose.
Coaching-style work is available for career direction and motivation. In sessions he favors direct, compassionate conversation and practical steps people can try between meetings. This might include strategies for better sleep, short exercises to reduce anxiety, or communication practices to improve connection.
He works with each person to build a clear plan and measure progress. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. The aim is to make starting therapy as simple and manageable as possible.
How practical approaches work online
Many clients benefit from well-established therapeutic methods that focus on clear steps and skills. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral techniques concentrate on small, doable changes in daily routines to improve sleep, motivation, and mood. When faith is important to a client, counseling can include Christian-informed reflections alongside these techniques to align therapy with personal values.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then pick or adapt techniques together. That way the plan fits the individual's needs and changes as progress is made.
Online formats make this work flexible and accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick tools, and ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between sessions.
