About Garland
Garland Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of counseling experience. He draws on a background as a retired school principal, a business owner, and military service to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma, anger, and career concerns.
His style is conversational and direct. Sessions feel relaxed and practical rather than clinical. He follows a plan with each person and aims to help clients make clearer choices about next steps in life.
Willis uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. He often helps people identify unhelpful thinking, set small goals, and build routines that reduce recurring frustration and anger.
Because of his time in schools and the military, he brings experience working across different ages and backgrounds. He has experience with trauma from abuse and neglect, process addictions, obsessive or compulsive concerns, and workplace problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Texas. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How his approaches adapt to online sessions
Willis commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work centers the conversation on the persons current concerns and priorities, helping them describe what matters and what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors, and teaches practical skills for reducing anger, anxiety, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. That might mean practicing thought-challenging exercises one week and trying a solution-focused goal-setting check-in the next.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and letting people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow more flexible timing for those balancing work or parenting responsibilities. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and exercises to what works in each session rather than promising a single fixed method.
