Gladys Hollis, LPC

Gladys Hollis, LPC, works with people who want change and practical steps toward healing. She focuses on building awareness of how past experiences shape present choices. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients notice patterns and try different ways of coping.

She draws on six years of counseling experience and a background as an educator and middle school counselor. That background shaped her focus on individual needs and on meeting people where they are. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday challenges like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and grief.

Gladys uses a range of approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people clarify values and understand important relationships.

In sessions she helps people work through life changes, parenting stresses, relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, and trauma-related effects. She also addresses ADHD-related struggles, anger, and compassion fatigue. The aim is to find concrete steps clients can try between meetings.

Her counseling emphasizes understanding, learning new skills, and building resilience. Gladys encourages small experiments in daily life that add up to meaningful shifts. People who want clear feedback and practical strategies may find her approach useful.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Gladys commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values, even when difficult feelings are present.

She approaches therapy collaboratively and will help the client decide which methods fit best. That conversation usually involves reviewing current struggles, goals, and personal preferences so sessions can be tailored to what feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a straightforward way to check in when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to practice techniques between meetings.
