About Jerard
Dr. Jerard Holton helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. He addresses career struggles, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, anger, and intimacy-related issues.
He also supports people facing compassion fatigue and ADHD. Dr. Holton is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with six years of experience and practices in Texas.
He keeps conversations straightforward and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills people can use between meetings.
How Jerard works
He adapts talk and techniques to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. Dr. Holton uses a mix of methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches.
That blend lets him address unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, strengthen motivation, and help people reframe difficult life stories. His background includes a doctorate in public health with a focus on population health management for behavioral health. He holds LPC credentials and has worked in the mental health field for six years.
Those experiences inform how he structures care and measures progress. People often begin by naming a few practical goals. Early sessions typically clarify priorities, introduce strategies to reduce distress, and set small steps to practice between meetings.
Dr. Holton emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative path toward clearer coping and greater well-being.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and helps guide choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crises, and it often includes practical exercises to use between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when internet or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
