About Willie

Willie Woods is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and caregiving strain. She also supports people facing life changes, anger, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to chronic illness and aging.

Tyree uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people can talk through what feels most urgent. She focuses on practical skills and short-term tools when those fit the situation. Sessions also make space for exploring how relationships from the past affect current patterns and reactions.

Her background includes several therapy approaches that guide how she works in session. Methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness exercises help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Attachment-focused work looks at relationship patterns that shape how people connect and respond to stress.

Willie frames progress as small, concrete steps rather than big promises. She adapts the pace to each person, and she listens for what matters most in daily life. People often come with practical goals like sleeping better, managing panic, or coping with caregiving demands.

Sessions are offered in English and organized around a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How her methods translate to online sessions

Willie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically include short experiments and skill practice people can try between meetings to manage anxiety and depression.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while allowing difficult feelings to exist. That approach can help when avoidance or worry gets in the way of everyday activities.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose approaches together. This collaborative decision makes it easier to pick techniques that fit someone’s daily life and pace.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The profile notes a subscription payment model and the need to complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session. If you want to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or limited time, discuss options during the matching step so sessions can be scheduled in ways that work for everyday routines.
