Donice Holbrook is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with twenty years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find practical ways to cope. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, with attention to each person’s values and life story.

She focuses on managing mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and recurrent depression. She also supports people struggling with panic, obsessive thoughts, low self-esteem, and social anxiety. Donice helps clients who face co-occurring issues like substance use, financial stress, or health-related concerns.

Her work addresses life transitions and complex situations, including adoption and foster care matters, communication problems, domestic violence impacts, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also offers support for people affected by HIV/AIDS and cancer, and those coping with aging-related issues.

Donice brings a Christian-informed perspective and aims to respect each client’s beliefs and values while working together on goals. She emphasizes building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening self-regard through practical steps.

In sessions she guides people toward clearer thinking and realistic plans. She encourages small, sustainable changes that fit each person’s daily life. To begin, clients pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule based on therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Donice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she relies on helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more realistic, balanced thoughts. This work is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms because it targets thought habits that fuel distress.

Another important strand of her work teaches coping skills and behavioral changes. That includes step-by-step techniques for managing cravings, reducing avoidance, improving sleep, and handling intense emotions. These practical tools support people dealing with addiction, mood swings, and stress from health challenges.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Donice works with clients to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and values. She will adjust methods as progress and new concerns emerge to keep the work relevant and achievable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and support follow-up check-ins between in-person visits. Some formats are better for short check-ins while others suit longer therapeutic work, so Donice will discuss what aligns with your schedule and treatment goals.
