About TaBoya

TaBoya Holman is a licensed professional counselor who supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps a person can take. TaBoya aims to make beginning therapy feel less overwhelming and to help clients find their footing again.

She believes each person knows their own story best and builds on individual strengths. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon.

Background and approach

TaBoya encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. TaBoya uses a mix of approaches to match the need in the room. She draws from client-centered work to create a respectful space.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness practices to help people stay present. When relationship dynamics come up, she may draw on Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to improve communication and understanding.

TaBoya has practiced for 15 years as an LPC, licensed in Tennessee. Her experience includes a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties, like caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness, and forgiveness. She aims to support clients through practical tools and steady encouragement.

Parents reading this will find an approach that values their knowledge and focuses on workable steps. The goal is clearer thinking, calmer responses, and more manageable days.

How TaBoya blends therapy approaches online

TaBoya uses practical therapy methods that work well over video and messaging. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what the client already knows about their life; it helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions; it is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.

She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into work when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving reactions in stressful moments. These approaches are explained plainly and adapted to each person s goals during the first sessions so the plan fits their needs.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the client s concerns, goals, and preferences. If an approach needs adjustment, that is part of the work and will be discussed openly.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That variety helps people fit therapy into busy days, keep momentum between meetings, and use the style of communication that feels most comfortable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
