About Gladys
Gladys Hollis helps people who are ready to make changes and take practical steps toward feeling better. She focuses on clear goals and supports clients as they work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life transitions. Gladys is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with six years of experience.
She approaches work by looking beyond surface symptoms to the experiences that shape current struggles. That means talking about what happened in the past and how it affects daily life now.
How Gladys works
Gladys draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and pace. In sessions she aims for a warm, nonjudgmental tone that encourages honest conversation. Clients can expect straightforward, practical strategies alongside space to reflect.
She uses both thinking-focused exercises and emotionally centered work depending on the issue. Her background as a former educator and current middle school counselor informs her way of explaining ideas and setting achievable steps. That experience also shapes how she helps clients build coping skills for stress, anger, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and career questions.
Gladys works with people dealing with trauma, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, body image, caregiving strain, and other focused areas. She uses a blend of approaches so sessions can shift between understanding feelings, changing patterns, and committing to new, workable habits. People who prefer a collaborative, flexible approach may find her style helpful.
Gladys supports each person in finding what actually helps them move forward rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful behavior changes and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment to improve emotional connection and relationship reactions.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pacing. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathic listening, and supports self-directed growth which can be helpful when building self-esteem or coping with grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gladys will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements as progress and challenges change over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face without traveling, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy days while keeping a steady therapeutic plan.
