LCSW, 15 years of experience
My name is Sandra Holt and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in McMinnville, Tennessee and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, stress and trauma using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you’ve been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I have always been drawn to helping people find their inner strength during difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.
I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for teens and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This is often takes the form of anxiety, depression, and stress. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build social skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as it helps me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward.

Sandra listens intently to what I have to say and helps me "unpack" it without dwelling on it throughout the rest of the session. She also helps me find my "good spot" and focus on what makes me happy and content despite life's current challenges. This is something that I really currently need!
