About Garland
Garland Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He also supports people facing parenting strains, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, career setbacks, and issues with self-esteem. His background includes leadership roles in education, business ownership, and military service, which inform his practical approach.
Willis keeps sessions conversational and down-to-earth. He talks with clients in a direct, respectful way and focuses on what will work for their everyday life.
Background and approach
He and the client build a plan together that targets specific goals and step-by-step changes. His work often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses client-centered skills to listen and reflect, and trauma-focused methods when past hurts affect current life.
These methods are used to help people regain control and make clearer choices. Willis has five years of counseling experience and previously served as a school principal. That time working with adolescents and families, plus military service and business ownership, shapes his practical problem-solving style.
He meets people where they are and focuses on achievable results. Sessions are intended to help clients handle immediate concerns and create longer-term habits that feel sustainable. For those ready to make changes, he offers a straightforward process to set priorities, practice new skills, and track progress.

Online approaches that focus on skills and healing
Client-centered therapy centers the client’s experience and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps you name what matters most so you can set meaningful goals. This approach helps when you need a supportive space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks issues into small, manageable steps and teaches practical strategies for changing thoughts and reactions. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits your life and adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when a lower-bandwidth option is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can help with quick adjustments, reminders, and between-session support. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
