About Donice
Donice Holbrook is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. The opening paragraph is short and direct to help a reader decide if this matches their needs.
Her practice focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She talks through strategies for managing panic, obsessive thoughts, and social anxiety. She also offers support for people facing grief, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to adoption or foster care.
Sessions emphasize clear communication and problem-solving. Donice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills for handling triggers, regulating mood, and reducing harmful habits. She also addresses money and financial stress when that contributes to mental health strain.
She describes a faith-informed perspective that can be part of sessions when clients want it. That perspective is described as culturally aware and conservative in approach, intended to respect personal beliefs while focusing on practical coping steps.
Donice has worked with many people over two decades and brings that practical experience into each appointment. She uses straightforward language and concrete tools so clients can try things between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Donice describes her work as rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical skills. Cognitive approaches help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Behavioral techniques focus on step-by-step changes in actions, such as exposure strategies for panic or compulsive behaviors and habit replacement for addiction issues.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person's life. Adjustments are made based on what helps most in everyday situations rather than following a rigid plan.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical treatment. Remote sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and help clients keep continuity of care while managing health or mobility concerns.
