About Willie

Willie Woods is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, depression, parenting concerns, and family-related patterns that continue to affect life today. She prefers people call her Tyree Woods.

Tyree focuses on practical conversation and skill building. Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and how early family roles and expectations may still influence choices and relationships. She uses straightforward methods to address mood, worry, anger, and major life changes.

Her background includes work with caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also has experience with attachment issues, dependent and avoidant personality patterns, and concerns like guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Therapeutic tools she uses include cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, client-centered listening, and attachment-focused approaches. These methods support coping skills, clearer communication, and practical steps to manage difficult feelings.

Sessions are conducted in English from her Michigan practice. Tyree asks new clients to use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and notes that her subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with depression, sleep issues, and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationships shape present patterns and helps people identify and shift those relational habits. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. The work is paced to the person and often mixes brief skills practice with conversation about family influences and current problems. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use phone or video in ways that match a client's schedule, energy, and comfort with being on camera.
