Dr. Jerard Holton helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career setbacks, depression, addiction, and trouble with relationships. He aims to make conversations straightforward and focused on practical next steps.
Dr. Holton practices as an LPC in Texas and brings six years of experience in behavioral health work. He trained at the doctoral level in public health and has worked on population health approaches for behavioral care.
That background informs how he thinks about patterns and supports people over time.
Background and approach
He keeps sessions oriented around clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. In sessions he adapts his style to each person. He listens first and then offers tools such as thought-challenging, emotion-regulation skills, or motivational strategies depending on the need.
He also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult life stories. People come to him for a range of issues, including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also helps with practical problems like communication struggles, commitment worries, and coping after disasters or loss.
The work often blends short-term coping skills with deeper conversation about patterns. Dr. Holton describes the process as collaborative.
He helps clients set concrete goals and checks progress along the way. For many, that mix of problem-solving and reflective work creates steady momentum toward change.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, understanding relationship and helps people talk through what matters most to them; it is useful for issues like low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help with intense emotions, anger, and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That collaboration can mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be a good fit when a shorter check-in is needed or video is not available. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on practical skill building and goal progress.
