About Stephanie
Stephanie Holder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. She brings a practical, compassionate style to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she centers the therapeutic relationship as a place to try new ways of coping.
Holder draws on cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help people identify patterns and try small, doable changes. She also incorporates client-centered and mindfulness approaches to build self-compassion and steady present-moment awareness. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her background includes work with people coping with trauma and adverse childhood experiences, attention difficulties such as ADHD, grief and loss, and stress related to caregiving or first responder roles. She combines practical skills with an emphasis on respect and sensitivity during hard conversations.
Stephanie has eight years of experience as a clinical therapist in mental health settings and has additional experience as a social worker. She explains tools and options clearly so clients can choose what feels useful. The goal is steady progress through manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
People who choose her often want a collaborative clinician who listens, offers concrete strategies, and helps them reconnect with values and goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
