About Gladys

Gladys Hollis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who want real change. She welcomes clients who are ready to take steps toward healing and wants to partner with those seeking guidance. Her approach is grounded in helping people understand what underlies their struggles rather than only treating surface symptoms.

Gladys draws on six years of counseling experience and a background as an educator and middle school counselor. That history shapes how she listens - with attention to a person's whole life and who they are becoming. She focuses on how past experiences influence present patterns to build awareness and foster growth.

In sessions she uses a mix of practical methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, while keeping the work tailored to each person. Conversations aim to be direct and compassionate, with tools you can try between meetings to notice different results.

Many people come for help with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship worries, attention difficulties, and life transitions. Gladys also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress when relevant to the person's story.

She aims to create a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can build awareness and take steps toward lasting change. Gladys believes people already have the capacity to change and offers steady support while that change happens.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Many of the methods Gladys uses lend themselves to conversations that fit into a busy life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical skills for mood and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current connection and trust, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gladys will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that seem to fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a packed schedule, avoiding travel time, and keeping continuity when life is busy. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know what is offered. Gladys aims to make therapy fit your life and will discuss the best way to meet based on your needs and availability.
