About William

William Holt is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, compassionate therapy for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, and parenting challenges. He uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and helps clients sort through painful feelings and difficult decisions.

William has 16 years of experience in clinical and educational settings and holds the Colorado LPC license CO LPC LPC.0019551. In sessions he creates a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

Background and approach

He leans on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape reactions and patterns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and pace. William helps people face guilt, shame, and the lingering effects of traumatic events.

He focuses on building self-love and resilience by practicing new ways of relating to oneself and others. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with attention to what feels useful in daily life. He draws on his long experience to offer practical tools alongside reflective work.

That might include identifying unhelpful patterns, learning coping skills for anxiety, or finding ways to grieve that feel honest. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and take place online.

The overall approach is collaborative - clients set goals and William supports them with consistent, compassionate guidance.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice patterns in how they connect with others and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's perspective and moves at their pace. In virtual sessions that means the therapist follows the client's goals, listens closely, and supports whatever changes the client wants to make.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. William will talk with clients about their needs and preferences, and then choose or combine methods in collaboration. The process is flexible so approaches can shift as goals evolve.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit support into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter, frequent check-ins. These options increase flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress in therapy.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
