Gladys Hollis, LPC

Gladys Hollis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people ready to make changes and take steps toward healing. She welcomes clients who want guidance and who are willing to do the work to address what lies beneath current struggles. Gladys emphasizes understanding how past experiences shape present life and focuses on building awareness and perseverance.

She brings six years of counseling experience and a background as a former educator and middle school counselor. That background shapes a practical, person-focused approach to issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, grief, and coping with life changes. She also addresses caregiving stress, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and aging and geriatric issues among other focus areas.

In sessions Gladys uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered principles to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Work in therapy often involves looking at past relationships, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and trying practical steps between sessions.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to meet clients where they are and to support gradual change. Gladys believes people have the capacity to grow, and she focuses on relationship and awareness as central parts of healing.

People interested in exploring coaching, career concerns, or specific areas like adoption and foster care or coping after trauma can bring those topics into sessions. The first steps involve talking about goals, strengths, and practical next steps toward change.

Approach-focused online care and practical strategies

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and encourages action that matches personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating; it can be helpful for intimacy, grief, and caregiver stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel understood and to explore their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gladys treats choosing methods as a collaborative process and will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be easier to keep up. Online work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in during a break or to use video when seeing nonverbal cues matters. Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking to match the approach and schedule to everyday life.
