About Garland
Garland Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of counseling experience. He draws on prior work as a school principal, a business owner, and military service to inform a practical, straightforward approach. He works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, addictions, trauma, eating concerns, career problems, depression, and anger.
Willis uses a conversational, casual style in sessions. He talks things through with clients and helps them set clear goals. He combines client-centered ideas with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques to address thinking patterns and small, actionable steps.
Sessions often focus on identifying specific problems and testing new ways of responding. For anger or workplace frustration this can mean spotting triggers, trying short behavior changes, and practicing new communication cues. For trauma-related concerns he integrates trauma-focused ideas to organize memories and reduce overwhelming reactions.
His background in schools and leadership shapes how he works with people under stress and with parenting concerns. He also has experience with veterans and people facing separation or blended family problems. Willis says he respects clients from diverse backgrounds and aims for direct, practical conversations.
Clients can expect goal-oriented sessions that mix talking, skill practice, and planning. He uses plain language and focuses on what to try between sessions. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. Online sessions use conversational listening to explore how anger shows up and what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that feed anger. In online sessions CBT techniques include identifying thought patterns, trying brief behavioral experiments, and practicing new responses between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to practical changes and small steps. That approach helps set short-term, achievable goals for reducing outbursts or managing workplace stress.Choosing the right method is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences with the client and suggest which approaches to try first. Sessions can change over time if one method is more helpful than another, and the plan adapts as progress or new challenges appear.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others use longer sessions for deeper work. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats he offers. Online work aims to make therapy easier to attend and to support applying skills in everyday life.
