About Lia
Lia Hollis is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and career stress.
Lia draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients name hard emotions and understand patterns in close relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help people clarify values and take practical steps forward. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing inform her work when people need present-moment grounding or help finding inner motivation.
Sessions focus on clear, direct conversation about what feels most urgent. Lia listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and for emotional responses that get stuck. She helps people practice small changes that can shift how they relate to themselves and to others.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with individuals over many kinds of life transitions. She addresses topics such as abandonment, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, substance use, and end-of-life concerns.

How Lia integrates EFT, ACT and client-centered work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck, which can be useful for relationship strain and intensity that is hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the client's priorities guide each session.Choosing the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. Lia will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the style as needed so the work fits what the person wants to address. That conversation is part of early sessions rather than a one-time decision.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Others appreciate being able to join from a quieter room or to choose audio-only when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to learn which session formats are currently available and what will work best for scheduling and comfort.
