In Person

Hello, and welcome to my page! I am Catherine, however most people just call me Cat. I can imagine that if you are on BetterHelp you are looking for some support and wondering what this site it all about! Life can be challenging, full of ups and downs, and sometimes change is difficult to manage! I want you to know that you are not alone, I am here for you, and together we can make it through! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I have worked as a therapist within the mental health profession since 2007. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from Appalachian State University and a master’s degree in social work from The University of South Carolina in Columbia. I love working with people and coming along beside them as a support through life's up's and down's. I have experiencing working in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress management, grief and loss, relationship issues, domestic violence, divorce care, spirituality, stress, anger management, family conflict, parenting, foster care support, overcoming conflict and challenges, and life coaching. I would describe my approach as empathetic, supportive, and person centered. I often use techniques that are derived from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational interviewing to work with individuals and families. We will identify your current needs and/or challenges and work together to create goals that will help you reach your desired outcome. Through my years in counseling, I have learned that one of the most important factors of success is making a connection and feelings comfortable with the person you choose to work with. In addition, I feel like you are the expert of your life and you have the answers within yourself; however sometimes it take someone coming along beside you to provide the support needed to help guide you to find those answers. I would love to get to know you and to have the opportunity to be a support for you through this journey called life!

Jacksonville, North Carolina - Clinical Social Worker/therapist

Have you ever struggled to communicate with someone? Have you ever reached a point in your life where you just were not sure of the next step? Have you ever felt misunderstood and just could not understand why? Have you ever just wanted to give up? We all have. And many times it just takes the courage to realize how we are in our own way and the courage to educate ourselves to have new awareness so that we can take action. I am a trauma trained licensed clinical social worker in EMDR. I want to see people lead a well life so my approach is to find what is working in your life first so that we can use those skills to ensure the day can be okay for you while we work through addressing what is not going well or what you want to work through. How do we do this together? We identify your priorities and I coach you through how to address what is needed. My 37+ year career has led me to my own practice where I specialize in Executive Coaching alongside wellness, life skills development, problem solving, visioning work to help my clients live a better life. My training ensures that we identify the negative messages that are in the way of your life, whether from your own creation or in toxic environments. And then we work to remove them in specific and targeted ways. Life is short and we all need to live our best life. I am uniquely skilled to work with those in a season of life transition, grief, and anxiety. I find energy in helping couples find the joy in their marriage again and I particularly find energy in supporting parents unconditionally love their children when they find it hard to like some of their behaviors. I work with executives, athletes, military, entrepreneurs, etc. of all backgrounds. I support diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in all of my community, civic, professional and personal life.

Taylor Holder

Jacksonville, North Carolina - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online

Taylor Holder, LCSW-CGS Certified Grief Specialist | Male Therapist | Specialized Individual Therapy Specialized Support I am a seasoned, compassionate male therapist offering specialized individual therapy for grief, including the loss of a child, terminal illness, caregivers, business owners, professionals under pressure, leaders, frontline workers, helping professionals, single fathers, single parenting stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, major life transitions, aging-related concerns, stigma, rejection, spiritual harm, and people carrying the emotional weight of responsibility for others in need of care and support. I work well with clients who are carrying stress in both their personal and professional lives, including those navigating workplace pressure, leadership burdens, business partner stress, professional overwhelm, caregiving strain, grief, and the challenge of trying to keep going while supporting others. Affirming and Inclusive Care I provide affirming, respectful care for people from all walks of life, including LGBTQI+ clients, people living with HIV/AIDS, intersex clients, marginalized communities, and people who have felt unseen, misunderstood, judged, boxed in, or harmed by stigma. My goal is to offer care without shame, judgment, or rejection. With more than 40 years of advocacy, education, public speaking, seminars, field research, and published work related to LGBTQI+ and intersex communities, I bring both clinical experience and lived commitment to dignity, respect, and nonjudgmental care. I also offer specialized support for intersex clients and for parents of infants or children navigating medical care, social pressures, stigma, and advocacy needs. Faith, Spirituality, and Best Fit My best-fit clients are those who are open to therapy that may include faith, spirituality, hope, meaning, purpose, values, or holistic mind-body-spirit support. When explicitly requested by the client, I can ethically integrate Biblical principles and Christian values into therapy while honoring professional Codes of Ethics and the client’s own beliefs, values, and goals. Why I Do This Work I’m dedicated to helping people build a meaningful life, even in dark seasons. Grief has touched my own family through the loss of my youngest daughter, so when I work with grieving parents, I do so not only as a Certified Grief Specialist, but also as a parent who understands the life-changing heartbreak of losing a child. That shared lived experience deepens the care, respect, and steadiness I bring to parents and families walking through profound loss. There is no set timeline for grief, but there can be a path forward. Together, we can work toward growing forward with support for mind, body, and spirit. Approach and Therapy Format Reaching out can feel hard, especially when you have been holding so much for so long. Depending on your needs, our individual therapy work may include CBT, motivational interviewing, faith-based support, creative arts-based interventions, art-immersion methods, grief-informed care, and holistic mind-body-spirit support. I tailor the work to your goals, and we will discuss what feels appropriate together. If you are looking for compassionate support that honors your lived experience while helping you grow forward, I would be honored to walk this journey with you.
