About Willie
Willie Woods is a licensed Master of Social Work who has practiced for 12 years in Michigan. She asks clients to call her Tyree Woods and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Her work focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief, and depression.
Tyree uses clear, person-centered conversation to find what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded in real life rather than long lectures. Her approach draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to help people notice thoughts and shift responses. Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and communication problems.
She adapts the pace to fit energy levels and daily demands. Tyree also brings experience with longer-term stressors like caregiving, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and trauma from disasters. She helps people manage anger, adjust to life changes, and cope when caregiving or illness causes strain.
The focus is on small, doable changes that add up over time. In sessions she offers a calm, respectful tone and practical tools you can try between meetings. She works collaboratively to build goals and checks progress as therapy continues.
If you want straightforward support for anxiety, grief, or related concerns, she aims to meet you where you are.
Approaches for online work and practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or low mood get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people shift how they relate to others and to themselves.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is seen. Sessions may mix approaches over time to fit changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you read tone and body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
