More about Joann
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been licensed in Kentucky as an LCSW for the last 10 years. I have over 15 years experience working with children and families to increase their positive communication. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting problems, PTSD, BiPolar, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and trauma informed counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

The best therapist I have ever worked with. She actively listens and genuinely cares for her clients. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
She’s amazing and exactly who I needed!
I had to switch to Mrs Chavez-Holder after a month with my other therapist and so I think maybe she didn’t see that I needed someone who could reach out to me. With my depression I often can’t even face the day sometimes. Quickly into our sessions though she began reaching out and offered many ways for us to stay connected and I really appreciated that.
Joann was fantastic to work with. She really listened to my concerns and had a great understanding of my situation. She provided comforting reassurance and words of wisdom for me moving forward.
Awesome experience!
Joann is an amazing therapist. She is very easy to talk to and always seems to know exactly what I need to hear or do. She is very flexible and easy to get ahold of to make sure my needs are met.
She has been amazing
