About Travis
Travis Holt helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or the lingering effects of trauma. He also supports people coping with major life changes and those dealing with post-traumatic stress. Travis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in Florida.
He uses a clear and direct style in sessions while staying empathetic and nonjudgemental. Travis prefers Accelerated Resolution Therapy and often draws on that approach when it fits the person’s needs.
Background and approach
He focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier in daily life. Travis has four years of clinical practice since finishing his master's at the University of South Florida in 2021. Before that, he spent about 15 years working in residential programs, restorative justice, the prison system, truancy services, and long-term care for older adults.
That range of settings shapes his straightforward, adaptable way of working. He has spent the last five years working closely with the combat veteran community and with spouses and significant others of combat veterans. As a Marine Corps combat veteran himself, Travis brings personal experience with military life and the idea of post-traumatic growth to his work.
Outside of clinical work he stays active with weight lifting, yoga, biking, and swimming. He also enjoys bird watching, reading, and playing chess when he has spare time.
Therapeutic approaches that fit online care
Travis prefers Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which focuses on changing the way distressing memories are held in the mind so they feel less disturbing. That approach can help people managing trauma symptoms and painful memories find relief without prolonged retelling of events.He also uses practical, skills-based strategies to address stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. These techniques teach breathing, grounding, and activity planning that people can use between sessions to reduce daily distress and improve routine functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and responses to initial sessions and then tailor methods over time. Collaboration helps identify whether a memory-focused approach, skills training, or a mix of methods is most helpful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video allows full face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or journaling between scheduled sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what works best for their schedule and comfort.
