Willie Woods, LMSW

Willie Woods is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 12 years of experience in Michigan. She goes by Tyree and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, and depression. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor conversation and plans to each person’s needs.

Tyree emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her sessions. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. Sessions often include talking through patterns of thought and everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better.

Her background includes a range of clinical approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness practices, and acceptance and commitment ideas. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to strengthen relationships with self and others.

People come to her for help with major life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, end-of-life concerns, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports those facing guilt, shame, hoarding, or chronic grief. Her 12 years of experience inform a practical, down-to-earth style.

In sessions Tyree focuses on clear steps you can try between meetings. She helps identify thoughts and daily habits that keep problems going and works with you to experiment with different responses. The aim is steady, realistic improvement you can build on over time.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping you notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, and then move toward actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps you try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, sleep problems, and self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at your pace so you feel understood and able to set realistic goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your needs, goals, and how you prefer to work. That may mean mixing approaches and adjusting plans as you progress.

Please confirm current session options before booking because specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let you meet from a quieter place, avoid camera use when you prefer audio only, or schedule sessions that fit around work or caregiving duties.
