Dr. Blandina Rose-willis

Dr. Blandina Rose-willis is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who centers her practice on listening and supporting people through change. She draws on client-centered principles to offer empathy and respect while helping clients tackle concerns like anger, anxiety, depression, career changes, and grief. Her way of working emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

She began counseling people leaving incarceration and recovery programs, helping with job skills, confidence, and workplace adjustments. Later she worked in university and community college settings, supporting students and community members facing homelessness, post-war trauma, single parenthood, and other complex life stressors. These roles shaped her focus on real-world problems and everyday coping skills.

After completing a PhD she moved into administration where she supervised staff, taught communication skills, and led problem-solving efforts. That experience deepened her interest in helping professionals manage burnout and compassion fatigue. She has also run groups and workshops, including sessions on LGBTQ legal and social issues for teachers.

Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques, plus solution-focused strategies when appropriate. She describes her perspective as holistic, recognizing how health, spirit, and daily habits interact with emotional life. She believes people can develop new skills and move forward when offered options and steady support.

Dr. Rose-willis works from Michigan and speaks English. She has three years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential. People who want a straightforward, listening-based approach may find her style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and respect. In practice this means the therapist focuses on understanding each person's priorities and offers acceptance while clients name goals and concerns. This approach helps when people need space to process strong feelings like anger or grief.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes. Sessions often include small homework tasks, skill practice, and clear steps to try between meetings. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps fit best. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the formats offered, which were not listed in the biography. Please confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. Therapists can still assign practice tasks, use mindful breathing in-session, and track progress between appointments.
