About Gladys
Gladys Hollis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people ready to make changes and take active steps toward healing. She writes plainly with a focus on identifying deeper causes, not just managing symptoms.
Background and approach
Gladys aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where people can build awareness and move forward. She draws on six years of counseling experience and a background as a former educator and current middle school counselor.
That experience shapes a practical approach to understanding how past events affect present struggles. Sessions emphasize awareness, perseverance, and the client’s own capacity for change.
Gladys blends several therapeutic methods to meet individual needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action.
Attachment-based ideas help identify patterns in close relationships and how those patterns influence current feelings. In the therapy room she focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
That might include small behavior experiments, communication practice, or short exercises to notice automatic reactions. She values collaboration and adapts tools to fit each person’s daily life.
Common concerns Gladys addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and life transitions. She also works with issues like parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, career questions, and caregiver stress.
Her work aims to help people build practical skills and clearer self-understanding. Her style is compassionate and straightforward.
Gladys encourages clients to recognize strengths, try new ways of coping, and keep moving toward the life they want.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Gladys commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT often focuses on small, practical experiments to change behavior and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clarify personal values and build committed action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can be useful for people wanting to live more consistently with what matters to them rather than getting stuck in avoidance.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gladys will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match your needs. Together you will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper, face-to-face work and role-play of communication skills. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or need less bandwidth, while live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, family, or school commitments.
