About Garland
Garland Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of counseling experience. He supports adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as anger, eating concerns, and career stress.
Before counseling he worked as a school principal, served in the military, and ran a business. That background shaped his practical outlook and his experience with adolescents and families, though his work now focuses on adult clients. He meets people who are coping with post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive concerns, process addictions, and the practical fallout of divorce or blended family life.
Sessions are conversational and informal. He uses approaches that emphasize clear thinking and problem solving. Clients can expect straightforward discussion, goal setting, and tools to manage symptoms and make decisions about relationships, parenting, or work demands.
Garland combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused methods, and trauma-focused ideas. He aims to work with each person to produce a plan and steps they can try between meetings. His experience in schools and the military influences a results-oriented, down-to-earth style.
He practices in Texas as an LPC and provides services in English. People interested in starting can follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In sessions this looks like open conversation where the therapist follows the person's concerns and priorities, helping them clarify choices and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions include practical exercises, simple behavioral experiments, and homework to test new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or relationship triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Garland will discuss goals, preferences, and immediate needs and help decide whether CBT, solution-focused steps, or trauma-focused methods fit best. This is a collaborative process where plans can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list specific methods of meeting. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on schedule. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to choose times and a format that match daily routines and practical constraints.
