About Blandina
Dr. Blandina Rose-willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with three years of counseling experience. She helps people facing issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, addictions, career uncertainty, and relationship struggles. Her background includes work in community settings and higher education where she supported adults with practical challenges and life transitions.
Early in her career she worked with people returning from incarceration and those recovering from addiction, focusing on job skills, self-esteem, and everyday functioning. She then counseled college students on academic and career decisions. Later roles included community college counseling where she addressed homelessness, single parenthood, post-war trauma, and other urgent life problems.
After earning a PhD she moved into administration, supervising staff, teaching communication skills, and helping teams solve workplace problems. Throughout these roles she relied on listening as her central skill and emphasized client-centered principles. She values unconditional positive regard and believes people can develop new skills when given options and support.
In private practice she has worked with clients dealing with depression, caregiving fatigue, body image and eating issues, and parenting concerns. She also runs group programs and workshops, including recent training for teachers on LGBTQ legal and social topics. Her group work remains a consistent strength.
Her approach mixes client-centered work with practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage stress, anger, and daily triggers. Sessions aim to clarify goals, build coping skills, and reduce obstacles to everyday functioning.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. It involves open dialogue and reflection so clients can clarify values, setbacks, and next steps. This approach helps with anger that comes from feeling misunderstood or stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test assumptions and change unhelpful reactions. CBT is useful for managing workplace frustration, rumination, and patterns that lead to angry outbursts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily demands. Sessions involve reviewing what helps, adjusting techniques, and tracking progress week to week.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example fitting a short check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow for different rhythms of work - some sessions focus on skill practice, others on problem-solving or planning. Ask about practical details when you book so sessions match your schedule and needs.
