About Garland
Garland Willis is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of counseling experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.
He uses a conversational, casual style in sessions. He talks through problems, notices patterns of thinking and behavior, and helps people try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach, alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused work.
Before counseling, he served in the military, ran a business, and worked for many years as a school principal. That background shaped his interest in practical strategies for everyday problems. He has experience with issues that include PTSD, sexual assault, emotional and physical abuse, and neglect.
Sessions focus on setting clear goals and following a straightforward treatment plan. He encourages people to identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and take small steps that build confidence. The work is action-oriented and aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.
Willis works with people across a wide age range and from varied backgrounds. He offers help for specific concerns such as anger, career stress, obsessions and compulsions, process addictions, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues. His practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Willis commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work when helping people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or compulsive patterns. Client-centered work centers on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals while the therapist offers support and feedback.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on CBT skills for specific symptoms or using solution-focused steps for short-term goals, with adjustments over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or making it easier to schedule around work and family commitments. The emphasis is on practical, structured work that can be practiced between meetings to make everyday routines more manageable.
