About Jerard
Dr. Jerard Holton helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and the hard shifts life brings. He focuses on improving self-esteem, career concerns, relationship strain, grief, and intimacy-related struggles.
Dr. Holton presents a calm, direct style that aims to make conversations feel clear and useful from the first meeting. He holds a doctorate in public health with a focus on population health management for behavioral health.
He is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and has six years of experience in the mental health field.
Background and approach
His background includes work with military and veteran populations and a range of community settings. In sessions he adapts to what each person needs. Some meetings center on practical skills for handling strong emotions.
Others look at thinking patterns that keep problems going or the stories people tell themselves about who they are. Dr. Holton uses short-term strategies and longer conversations depending on the issue.
He often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior skills, and motivational interviewing. He also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences. The pace, tools, and goals are set together.
His approach is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect clear steps to try between sessions and a focus on building coping skills that fit daily life.

Approach-focused care offered online
Client-centered work puts the person's goals and perspective first, with the therapist following your lead while offering empathy and reflection to make sense of your experience. This is useful when people need a listening space that still moves toward change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches concrete skills for handling anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming or reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and keeping what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for longer sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep progress between sessions, and use tools that match how you prefer to communicate.
