Gladys Hollis , LPC

Gladys Hollis is a licensed professional counselor who helps people ready to make changes and take clear steps toward healing. She welcomes clients who want practical support for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and life transitions. Gladys writes plainly and focuses on what can be done together in the short and long term.

Before counseling full time she worked as an educator and currently serves as a middle school counselor in Texas. That background shapes how she listens and how she structures sessions to fit each person’s needs. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present behavior and feelings.

Her work draws on several practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed methods, and client-centered listening. Those approaches are used to build awareness, change harmful patterns, and strengthen emotional connection with self and others.

Gladys often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiving stress. She also helps with anger, codependency, body image, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her aim is to treat underlying problems, not only surface symptoms.

Sessions are offered in English and are conducted with a straight talk, compassionate style. Gladys encourages small, doable steps and partners with each person to set realistic goals and track progress.

Approaches that guide online work

Gladys uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice what matters and take action toward it. ACT focuses on clarifying values and committing to steps that fit those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and build healthier habits, a good fit for worry, low mood, and stress management.

She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to address relational patterns that come from early bonds. That approach helps people understand how past connections affect current relationships and intimacy-related struggles. Gladys works with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls let people read facial cues and hold richer conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options aim to make attending therapy more flexible and accessible without changing the therapeutic work.
