Donice Holbrook

Donice Holbrook is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical support for emotional struggles and life transitions. Her background includes work with addiction recovery and chronic health challenges, and she brings a compassionate, faith-informed perspective to sessions.

Clients meet a clinician who aims to listen first and then help set clear, manageable goals. Conversations often focus on immediate coping skills and next steps rather than long lectures. Donice emphasizes building strengths and practical routines that can ease day-to-day pressure.

Her work includes support for people facing aging and geriatric concerns, cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. She also addresses communication problems, domestic violence history, money-related stress, and co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder and substance use concerns.

Donice frames care within a Christian-informed viewpoint and respects each person’s values while staying outcome-focused. She aims to help people develop healthier self-regard and more effective ways to manage panic, obsessive thinking, and social anxiety.

People who choose her can expect steady, person-centered guidance that prioritizes clarity and small, achievable changes. She invites clients to work together to find what helps most and to adjust the plan as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Donice works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to relieve symptoms and build coping skills. One common focus is short-term skill building that teaches anxiety management techniques such as grounding, breathing, and simple behavior changes to reduce panic and social fear. These methods help people regain immediate control when symptoms spike.

Another often-used approach emphasizes mood regulation and routine-building to address depression and bipolar mood shifts. That involves breaking goals into small steps, tracking daily habits, and adjusting plans when setbacks happen to reduce overwhelm and increase stability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Donice will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the person’s situation, and adjust methods based on what works best. The client and therapist decide together how to proceed and which techniques to prioritize.

If you are considering online work, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while tailoring each meeting to practical needs and daily schedules.
