About Tovakyshe
Tovakyshe Woullard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with anger, addictions, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. He also supports people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress.
Woullard uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that fuel anger and other strong emotions. He leans on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice thoughts and make different choices. Sessions focus on practical strategies rather than jargon.
He has a long background in human services and experience working with older adults, veterans and military-related concerns, teens with academic or custody struggles, foster care and blended-home situations, and people coping with medical vulnerabilities. That history informs how he approaches issues like abandonment, attachment, and caregiver stress.
In a typical session he helps a person name what is happening, practice short, usable skills, and plan concrete next steps to try between sessions. He uses mindfulness exercises and behavior-based tasks to break cycles of reactivity.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters. It can help when anger is driven by rigid rules or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses small experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for frustration at work or repeated outbursts. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find personal reasons to change and build commitment to those changes.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try a few techniques, and adapt based on what fits your goals and preferences. Expect a mix of talking, short exercises, and practical homework you can use between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce travel time. Therapists often use mindfulness practices, behavior experiments, and value-based planning in remote sessions to help manage anger and related stress.
