He has received recognition for work with co-occurring disorders and completed a leadership program through Morehouse School of Medicine’s Satcher Health Leadership Institute.

His therapy style centers on each person’s needs and motivations. He draws on a range of methods and often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of a tailored plan. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clearer thinking, and building coping skills that fit a client’s daily life.

Willie aims to help people identify distractions and barriers to change, and to turn those insights into forward movement. He works with clients to set realistic goals and to practice new ways of handling difficult feelings and situations. The focus is steady, practical progress toward a more manageable life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking small steps that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and reactions. Working through attachment patterns can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that suit your needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process aims to match practical skills to the challenges you bring.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow check-ins that are shorter when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when helpful. Speak with the therapist during the intake to clarify how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect.
