Lisa Holder

Lisa Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Colorado and Texas and focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, depression, and issues related to divorce and separation. Lisa emphasizes clear steps a person can take to feel steadier and more able to cope.

She believes many people’s strengths are hidden beneath past hurts and current pressures. In sessions she helps people uncover those strengths and build everyday coping skills. Lisa uses straightforward methods to teach tools for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving.

Her approach centers on support and skill building. She listens for what matters most to each person and offers concrete strategies rather than abstract theory. That can include practicing new ways to talk about needs, pacing through strong emotions, and breaking big problems into manageable steps.

Lisa’s work often addresses the aftermath of relationship breakdown, issues around attachment and abandonment, and the strain of caregiving or chronic health problems. She also helps with shame, guilt, loneliness, and midlife concerns when these get in the way of daily functioning.

Clients should expect a collaborative process that balances listening with teaching new skills. Lisa encourages small, practical changes that add up over time, and she helps people make choices that reflect their values and goals.

How evidence-based techniques guide online therapy

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills and manage symptoms. One common approach she draws on focuses on teaching coping and emotion regulation skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms; it uses step-by-step practice to help people respond differently to strong feelings. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship patterns, which can help when separation, attachment wounds, or repeated conflicts cause ongoing stress.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Lisa will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most useful. Together they review goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what actually helps in daily life.

If you plan to do sessions online, check the therapist's current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the context of daily routines, which often speeds up learning and makes therapy more practical.
