About Gladys

Gladys Hollis is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people who want change and practical support. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting concerns, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, and career or compassion fatigue issues. Gladys uses a straightforward, compassionate style and aims to help clients identify root causes rather than only treating symptoms.

She draws on six years of clinical experience and a background in education and school counseling.

Background and approach

That background influences how she listens and asks questions. Sessions tend to center on understanding how past experiences affect current patterns and on building awareness and coping skills. Gladys uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused techniques, and client-centered listening.

She tailors methods to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method for everyone. In a session she emphasizes practical steps and clear goals. Conversations explore thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns while developing small, manageable changes to try between meetings.

Parents who are worried about family dynamics or day-to-day rhythms often find this approach direct and useful. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Gladys is licensed as an LPC with license number TX LPC 83565 and combines counseling skills with an educator’s mindset to support growth and lasting change.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and committing to actions that match personal values. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from doing what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and daily coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns formed early in life and how they show up now; it can be useful when relationship dynamics or family history affect current stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gladys will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. That means starting with practical steps and shifting focus as needed so the work stays relevant to the client’s life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions into busy routines and continue work between meetings. The variety of options supports different communication styles and makes it easier to follow through on the plans developed in therapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
