Dr. Blandina Rose-willis, LPC

Dr. Blandina Rose-willis is an LPC who centers sessions on client-centered care. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles, and career questions. Her approach emphasizes listening, respect, and practical steps that clients can try between meetings.

She began work supporting people reentering the community after incarceration and recovery, helping with job skills, confidence, and daily functioning. That led to university and community college counseling roles where she supported students and community members dealing with homelessness, trauma, single parenthood, and career uncertainty. Those early roles shaped a hands-on, practical style grounded in real-life problems.

After completing her PhD she moved into administrative work, supervising staff, teaching communication skills, and problem-solving across departments. She later opened a counseling practice focused on diversity consulting and community health and wellness, and kept a small clinical caseload that often involved depression related to marital stress and feeling overwhelmed.

Group work has been a consistent strength in her career, and she has led workshops for teachers on LGBTQ legal and social topics. She describes her overall perspective as holistic, attending to mental, physical, and social aspects of well-being, and she emphasizes helping people develop new life skills.

With three years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor, she combines client-centered listening with practical techniques to help people move forward. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How her therapy styles translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and unconditional positive regard. In practice that means sessions start with the person’s own priorities and the therapist reflects what she hears so clients feel understood and seen. This approach helps people dealing with worry, low self-esteem, relationship strain, or decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and looks for small changes that make a daily difference. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior patterns like addictive responses. Exercises and short between-session tasks are commonly part of this work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s goals and preferences, and may blend client-centered listening with CBT or solution-focused steps as needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and shortening travel time. Depending on current session options, online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, do brief check-ins, and use exercises between sessions. Confirm the available session formats before booking so the arrangement fits everyday life.
