Following an exemplary tenure in education, counseling and consulting that spanned decades, Dr. Hollingsworth retired.

The opportunity enabled her to transition into the role of a guidance counselor at Dover High School, where she counseled and mentored students. Eventually, Dr. Hollingsworth left education and co-founded Hollingsworth and Hollingsworth Consultant Services with her late husband. Together, they provided various counseling, workshops and other training services to patrons.
As an extension of her career, Dr. Hollingsworth has written a variety of articles and speeches. Likewise, she served as the editor of "The NAACP Has Little in Common with the Klan" and 'The Hollingsworth's Secrets to a Long, Happy Marriage' in the Delaware State News in 2016. Dr. Hollingsworth was also instrumental in helping her husband acquire a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's degree in counseling.
Highly educated, Dr. Hollingsworth received a Bachelor of Science in home economics from Delaware State College in 1949. She later earned a Master of Education in guidance and counseling from the University of Delaware in 1970 and a Doctor of Philosophy in counseling from Pacific Western University in 2001. She has supported her professional endeavors as a member of the Delaware State University National Alumni Association and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the vice chairperson of the Delaware Heritage Commission.
