About Lisa

Lisa Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma, and depression. She aims to give straightforward support and teach skills people can use every day.

Her work focuses on helping people untangle problems that feel stuck or overwhelming. She talks through patterns that come from past hurts as well as current life pressures. She also addresses issues like attachment and abandonment wounds, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and challenges around money and financial issues.

Sessions center on practical coping strategies and building strengths that already exist. She helps people learn healthier ways to handle strong emotions, improve communication, and manage panic or mood symptoms. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and transitions such as divorce and midlife change.

Lisa combines steady guidance with clear skills practice. She works with each person to set realistic goals and steps that fit daily life. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage stress and reconnect with hope.

Her license and long experience shape an approach that is calm and task-oriented. If someone wants help sorting through difficult feelings, rebuilding confidence, or finding a clearer path forward, she offers focused support and practical tools.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills practice and emotional processing. Skills-based approaches teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, panic, and mood shifts, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Trauma-informed strategies help people understand how past hurts affect current relationships and reactions, and they include pacing, stabilization, and building safety around difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life context, and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques over time to fit those needs. Clients and the therapist work together to test methods and pick the ones that actually help in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their real-life routines and bring concrete problems from daily life into the session for immediate troubleshooting.
