Willie Woods

Willie Woods is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of experience. She prefers to be called Tyree Woods and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Tyree shapes conversations and plans around each person's needs. She listens first, then works with clients to set realistic steps. Sessions can include practical tools for day-to-day coping and ways to rebuild confidence.

Her background includes helping people through major life changes and caregiving strain. She also addresses challenges connected to chronic illness, aging, end-of-life concerns, and serious medical conditions such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. Communication problems, family of origin issues, and attachment-related concerns are part of her focus.

Therapeutic methods she uses include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, client-centered conversation, and attachment-based perspectives. These approaches guide how she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build more meaningful routines.

Tyree emphasizes practical coping strategies for sleep, anger, and managing mood shifts related to bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with hoarding, guilt, shame, and forgiveness work. The work is collaborative and paced to match what each person can handle.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction and small daily steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing different ways of responding to reduce symptoms like sadness, worry, or sleep disturbance. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and priorities, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection to help clarify what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tyree will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as new challenges and gains appear.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. Many people find that consistent weekly sessions, or briefer follow-ups between in-depth meetings, help maintain momentum while balancing daily responsibilities.
