Chelita Holland(She/Her/Hers)

Chelita Holland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Jacksonville, FL. Chelita welcomes clients of all ages into her practice, including veterans, couples, parents, and families. She enjoys working with those who are going through major life changes and periods of transition. For some of her clients, this might be adjusting to civilian life after military tours, navigating feelings like grief, trauma, and anxiety. For others, this change might be a change in relationship status or a career change. 

Chelita is a non-judgmental therapist who reflects back what clients bring up in her sessions, acting as a sounding board and providing empathetic guidance. She teaches clients how to be more aware of their thought patterns through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and how to practice mindfulness in their daily lives, grounding themselves in the present moment. When working with couples, Chelita encourages the practice of compassion and empathy, giving clients tools to make positive change in their relationship. 

Chelita earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and holds a certificate from the Gottman Institute. Her goal is to help clients establish healthy habits and to create balance within their personal lives. She believes that each person has the ability to heal through their own innate resilience.
