Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead; this approach supports personal growth and is often useful for relationship, self-esteem, and life-purpose concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.

Trauma-focused therapy attends to the effects of traumatic experiences through targeted interventions that help process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning, which can be especially helpful for those coping with post-traumatic stress and abuse-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Garland Willis works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists adapt strategies over time so the plan remains aligned with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access help from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
