Dr. Holly Plotnick

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I received my Masters (MSW) from University of Denver and my Doctorate (DSW) from Capella University. I have been practicing for 5 years, working in multiple environments, including foster care, inpatient psychiatric therapy, schools, and individual / couples outpatient therapy. I am passionate about supporting clients in discovering their strengths, partnering with them to meet their goals, and celebrating progress along the way.

I take my client's lead as they tell their own life stories and guide them to tell the stories from different perspectives. My goal is to assist my clients with rewriting their narratives in more positive, useful ways to help them make sense of their experiences, thoughts, and feelings and how they impact them in the present.

By providing an interactive, laid-back, compassionate, non-judgmental space, I take my clients' lead as experts in their past experiences. I want to help you celebrate progress (small wins). I believe therapy isn’t only about making changes to ourselves but also how we perceive our worth. Successes and failures are normal in this journey, and I celebrate both as progress! I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is not only recognized but celebrated.
