About Gladys
Gladys Hollis, LPC, helps people who are ready to make changes and learn new ways to cope. She focuses on practical steps and self-awareness so clients can move past repeating patterns. Her style is warm and non-judgmental and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
She brings six years of counseling experience and time as a middle school counselor to her work. That background shaped how she listens to each person as an individual and notices how past experiences influence present behavior.
Background and approach
Gladys emphasizes understanding roots of problems instead of only addressing symptoms. Her approach draws from several methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered work. In sessions she helps people name patterns, practice new behaviors, and try small experiments between meetings.
Parents often find this practical focus helpful for tackling daily stress and relationship strains. Gladys also addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and caregiving stress. She includes coaching-style tools for career and life transitions when helpful.
Therapy covers both emotional insight and hands-on skills for coping. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She encourages clients to set realistic steps and track progress.
The work is collaborative - clients describe what matters and Gladys helps them map a path forward.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and making steady changes in family life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer connections and clearer boundaries in close relationships.Gladys will collaborate with each client to find the best fit among these and other approaches. She talks with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they choose strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework questions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These choices help fit therapy into busy family routines and varied schedules.
