Getting to know Nicholas Holt

Most people who find their way to my practice aren't falling apart. They're functioning — often exceptionally well. Career intact, responsibilities met, people taken care of. And yet something isn't working anymore. I'm Nick Holt, a licensed clinical social worker and certified CBT therapist in West Los Angeles. I work with men, caregivers, and high-functioning professionals who are ready to stop managing alone. What I do: I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. My goal is always the same: to help you understand yourself well enough that eventually you don't need me anymore. Credentials: I hold a Diplomate from the Academy of Cognitive & Behavioral Therapies (A-CBT). I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California with a focus on clinical training and military mental health. My 10+ years of clinical experience spans veterans, executives, athletes, caregivers, and individuals navigating depression, anxiety, suicide, and major life transitions. Prior to private practice I worked at Didi Hirsch's Suicide Prevention Center and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. I have also written about mental health for Vox, Huffington Post, and Wellness Universe. I have been a guest on the Mental Illness Happy Hour and OKStorytime podcast and YouTube Live Stream. Who I work with: - Men who are functioning well by every external measure and feel empty anyway - Caregivers who have lost track of their own needs - High-functioning professionals carrying weight privately that nobody around them fully sees - People who are tired of being strong all the time Based in the Sawtelle neighborhood of West Los Angeles, CA 90025. Evening and weekend appointments available. Free phone consultation available

What should a new client know about working with you?

Who I Work With Men who are functioning exceptionally well by every external measure and feel empty anyway. Caregivers who have organized their lives around someone else's needs for so long they've lost track of their own. High functioning professionals carrying weight privately that nobody around them fully sees. People who are tired of being strong all the time. If you recognize yourself in any of that — keep reading. The most important thing is that you feel safe enough to be honest. If you don't feel that with me, I'll tell you and we'll figure out why — or I'll help you find someone who's a better fit. That's not a disclaimer. That's how I work.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

What Therapy With Me Looks Like I'm direct, warm, and practical. I won't pathologize your strength or turn you into a lifelong client. My goal is to help you understand yourself well enough that eventually you don't need me anymore. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It's solution-focused. It gives you tools. It works. But technique is secondary to relationship.
