Tovakyshe Woullard , LCSW

Tovakyshe Woullard is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He helps people facing addiction, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and stress. He also supports those dealing with relationship or family struggles, trauma and abuse, and life changes.

He favors a direct, respectful conversational style. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes people can try between visits. He listens first, then helps people identify what matters most and build plans around those priorities.

Over five years as an LCSW he has worked with older adults, people in foster and blended-home situations, and clients coping with abandonment and adoption-related concerns. That background informs how he sees patterns and strengths in day-to-day life.

Therapy may include learning tools for handling strong emotions, skills for clearer communication, and ways to reduce avoidance. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance approaches alongside mindfulness and motivational strategies.

People who choose him often want straightforward help with specific problems. He aims to make progress feel manageable. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behaviors and mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using empathetic listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices about change.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday challenges, and then recommend methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while still using ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques to address addictions, anxiety, grief, and other concerns.
