About Gladys

Gladys Hollis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing major life shifts, stress, and midlife concerns. She focuses on practical steps and honest reflection. Her style suits someone ready to take action and look beneath surface symptoms to find what needs to change.

She draws on six years of clinical experience and a background as a middle school counselor. That time in schools taught her to pay attention to the whole person and to adapt approaches to each individual's needs. She emphasizes how past experiences shape present patterns and sees awareness as the start of healing.

In sessions she uses client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also integrates attachment-informed ideas to better understand relationship patterns and emotional responses. The work often centers on small, doable steps between meetings.

Gladys aims to build a warm, non-judgmental space. She encourages people to name what matters and to practice new ways of coping. Her approach combines practical problem solving with attention to emotional history so change can hold over time.

People come to her for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, parenting stress, ADHD-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and career-related decisions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and transitions linked to aging, adoption, or caregiving. Her practice is grounded in steady encouragement and clear next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses attentive listening and reflection to help someone feel understood and find their own direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether ACT, CBT, client-centered methods, or a mix is used in sessions so treatment fits real life.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let people check in from wherever they are during the day. It also allows for shorter focused check-ins when a full session is not needed, and supports continuity of care during life transitions.
