Background and approach

Her background includes nearly five years working in healthy behavior and lifestyle change interventions, which informs her emphasis on practical steps that support overall health and wellness. Holder draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to uncover the stories behind clients' struggles and highlight personal strengths.

She values a collaborative stance that honors each person as the expert on their own life, and she works to encourage motivation and confidence when clients decide to pursue change.

Clients who are ready to take a first step toward a more fulfilling life will find a clinician who emphasizes practical strategies, reflective exploration, and ongoing encouragement throughout the change process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Gigi integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and attachment-informed ideas into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood concerns, and it offers concrete tools and experiments clients can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and communication, which can be helpful for relationship and parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting techniques over time so the plan fits each person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and try approaches like CBT homework or attachment-focused reflection in ways that match each client’s routine.
