Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Tyree Woods

Willie "Tyree" Woods integrates evidence-informed approaches to support people facing a wide range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed early in life and how they affect current connections; it is useful for family, parenting, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tyree works collaboratively with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and needs and then selects or blends methods that fit best for their situation and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. Sessions can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing consistent access to a licensed professional from home or another convenient location. This variety of options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
