About Lisa
Lisa Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing with 25 years of experience. She is licensed in Colorado and Texas and works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse.
Holder focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She teaches healthy skills and coping strategies to manage strong feelings and day-to-day challenges. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and panic or mood symptoms.
Her work includes help for people facing divorce or separation, communication problems, isolation or loneliness, and conflicts around money and life purpose. She also talks with people about forgiveness, guilt, and shame so those feelings are less overwhelming in daily life.
Sessions tend to combine straightforward discussion with tools to practice between meetings. Lisa pays attention to how past hurt or current pressure keeps people stuck and offers techniques to change unhelpful patterns. She keeps language simple and focuses on clear next steps her clients can try.
People who are looking for practical coping skills and steady, experienced support often find this approach useful. To get started she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Lisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety, panic, and intense emotions. These tools are practiced in session and assigned as exercises to use between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.Another approach is focused processing of past hurts and trauma. This involves paced conversations about how past events affect present behavior and relationships, with attention to rhythms and safety so the work does not become overwhelming. That kind of work aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. The therapist and client work together to decide which techniques fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as different challenges come up.
If you plan to arrange online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also allow steady contact while someone manages caregiving, work, or medical needs.
