Dr. Blandina Rose-willis , LPC

Dr. Blandina Rose-willis began her counseling career supporting ex-offenders and individuals recovering from addiction as they sought employment, working on practical job-seeking skills as well as related concerns such as self-esteem and workplace functioning. She later applied her counseling skills in university settings, helping students navigate academic challenges and explore changing career paths. In community college work she encountered a broad spectrum of needs - from homelessness and prostitution to post-war trauma, single parenthood, feelings of worthlessness, and career clarification - and she worked to help clients regain stability and purpose. She achieved measurable successes with these populations even while managing a heavy caseload and facing professional burnout.

After completing her PhD, she transitioned into administration where she supervised staff and departments, taught communication techniques, and modeled problem-solving approaches while drawing on her clinical background. Listening is central to her practice and she emphasizes unconditional positive regard, reflecting the core of client-centered counseling. She views people as capable of growth when provided with support and options, and she approaches care holistically, attending to mental, physical, spiritual, and self-care dimensions that contribute to overall well-being. When she opened her counseling practice she focused on diversity consulting and community health and wellness, providing individual counseling for people experiencing depression related to marital issues, overwhelm, or lifestyle changes, and facilitating group work which has been a consistent strength throughout her career. She has also led workshops for educators on LGBTQ legal and social issues and remains committed to integrating individual counseling with community-focused initiatives. Dr. Blandina Rose-willis holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and brings both clinical and administrative experience to her work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Dr. Blandina

Dr. Blandina Rose-willis integrates client-centered therapy into her practice, which focuses on listening deeply, offering unconditional positive regard, and helping clients identify their own goals and solutions - an approach that supports personal growth through empathy and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another key method she uses; it involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression and working to develop practical strategies to change those patterns and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a complementary option to help clients build present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can be useful for anxiety, coping with life changes, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Blandina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This partnership lets clients try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Dr. Blandina is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These remote options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and fit sessions into work, family, and life commitments without repeated travel.
