About Stephanie

Stephanie Holder is an LCSW practicing in California who combines relational warmth with evidence-informed techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and attention difficulties including ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years as a licensed mental health clinician, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative stance while tailoring care to each person’s circumstances and goals. Stephanie frames therapy as a partnership that supports practical change through accessible tools and thoughtful conversation.

Her style blends client-centered presence with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to address symptoms, life transitions, and the effects of trauma or adverse childhood experiences. She aims to help clients build self-compassion, develop concrete coping skills, and move toward clearer priorities in areas such as career, parenting, intimacy, and recovery from addiction.

Stephanie encourages clients to take gradual steps toward the life they envision and adapts interventions to fit unique needs and preferences.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center of care, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaborative goal-setting to help people feel heard and understood. This approach supports work on relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes by building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties. CBT offers structured tools and exercises that adapt easily to remote formats and task-oriented homework assignments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors conversations and interventions over time, adjusting techniques as goals evolve so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to connect from home or work. These formats can help people access consistent support while fitting therapy into busy schedules, allowing for ongoing skill practice and steady progress without requiring in-person visits.
