About Gladys
Gladys Hollis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who works with people ready to make change. She focuses on practical steps and honest conversation to help clients move past stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. She draws on her background as a former educator and current middle school counselor to meet people where they are.
That experience shaped a straightforward style that pays attention to each person's history and current strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on understanding how past experiences affect present feelings and behavior. Gladys uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs rather than one fixed method. Common themes in her work include building awareness, improving coping skills, and strengthening relationships.
She often helps people tackle issues such as grief, trauma, anger, parenting challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her style aims to be warm and nonjudgmental. She prioritizes clear goals and practical tools alongside space to talk through difficult emotions.
Clients who want guidance and are willing to try new strategies may find this approach helpful. In sessions she emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time. The work usually involves reflecting on patterns, practicing new skills between meetings, and tracking progress.
Gladys frames healing as something people do alongside another person, not something that happens overnight.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Gladys commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with ADHD challenges.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, tool coaching, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy going around work, school, or caregiving demands.
