About Holly

Holly Erskine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who brings 15 years of clinical experience supporting people affected by trauma, mood challenges, and life transitions. She works from a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing that many symptoms and difficulties are understandable responses to past experiences, and she partners with clients to identify practical strategies that move toward their goals.

Her clinical work focuses on trauma-related symptoms, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, emotion dysregulation, mood and personality disorders, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and coping with significant life changes. Her training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and DBT Prolonged Exposure trauma therapy, and she integrates additional methods such as client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices when appropriate to meet each person’s needs.

Holly emphasizes safety, empathy, and collaboration in the treatment process, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship while helping clients define meaningful goals. She is committed to empowering people affected by trauma and mental health challenges and to supporting purposeful change through tailored, evidence-informed care.

Trauma-Informed and Skills-Based Care Online

Holly draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people build skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors. DBT combines skills training with individual work to address emotion dysregulation and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy approaches that are tailored to processing traumatic experiences and reducing trauma-related symptoms. These methods aim to support gradual recovery by addressing the impact of trauma on thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Holly works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of strategies best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client shape treatment together over time based on progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
