About Taylor
He works often with business owners and professionals under pressure and with caregivers facing burnout or compassion fatigue. He also supports aging adults and family caretakers, and parents and adults dealing with loss and transitions. He provides affirming care related to LGBT and intersex concerns and can include spiritual perspectives when requested.
Holder draws on many years of advocacy and education experience around intersex awareness, which informs the way he supports parents and individuals facing stigma or complex medical and social decisions. That background shapes his approach to long-term challenges as well as sudden crises.
In sessions he uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Practical methods such as cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing sit alongside narrative and client-centered work. Mindfulness practices and occasional creative, arts-based activities may be added to help people process emotion and find steps forward.
Reaching out starts with a simple matching process and a scheduled session. The focus is on small, manageable changes that fit into daily life and help someone move toward clearer goals and steadier mood.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s pace. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters to the client and building a supportive, collaborative space to set goals and try small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and short tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and tackle problems like burnout or career uncertainty.Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on the client's goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether more structured skill-building or a gentler, narrative-focused approach will be best for the issue at hand.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. They also let a therapist share exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices that you can use between meetings to support ongoing progress.
