About Gladys
Gladys Hollis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with individuals who want practical change and who are willing to take steps toward healing. Her style is warm and direct, and she pays attention to who each person is becoming.
She draws on six years of experience and a background as a former educator and middle school counselor.
Background and approach
That background shaped how she notices development, behavior, and the impact of past experiences on present struggles. Sessions focus on understanding how earlier events influence current feelings and choices. Gladys uses a mix of approaches based on what a person needs.
She includes cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and client-centered work that follows the client's pace. The goal is to target causes rather than only easing symptoms. In practical terms she helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and family strains, parenting stress, and career or life transitions.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving strain, body image, and other focused concerns. Her sessions are conversational and action-oriented. She helps clients build awareness, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating.
People who want a supportive yet active partner in therapy tend to find her approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and big life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people change how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact and quicker check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other routines.
