Stephanie Holder , LCSW

Stephanie Holder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of experience in mental health and social work. She works with people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting difficulties, career transitions, grief and loss, attention difficulties such as ADHD, and the effects of trauma or adverse childhood experiences. Her background includes supporting clients through life changes, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her counseling style is warm, respectful, and interactive. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for growth and adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique history and goals. She draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective, cognitive-behavioral techniques that address thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, motivational interviewing to support change, and solution-focused strategies to identify practical steps forward.

Stephanie approaches work with sensitivity and compassion, encouraging self-compassion and practical skill-building. She believes people can make meaningful changes when given support, appropriate tools, and a willingness to be vulnerable, and she tailors care to meet each individual’s specific needs.
