About Blandina

Dr. Blandina Rose-willis combines cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered, holistic outlook developed over a varied counseling career.

Background and approach

She draws on practical skills honed while supporting people facing employment barriers, addiction recovery, and academic challenges, and she emphasizes active listening and unconditional positive regard as core elements of her work. Her background includes university and community college counseling where she addressed issues such as career decision-making, self-esteem, post-war trauma, homelessness, and single parenthood.

After earning a PhD she moved into administration, supervising staff, teaching communication skills, and modeling problem-solving approaches. Group work and workshops have been consistent strengths, including sessions focused on LGBTQ legal and social issues.

In practice she takes a holistic view that considers mental, physical, and social factors together, supporting clients through grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She is licensed as an LPC in Michigan and brings three years of counseling experience to her therapeutic work.

Combining practical methods with client-centered care online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and unconditional positive regard, creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach supports people coping with relationship concerns, grief, and feelings of low self-worth by focusing on empathy and personal strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges where skills-based interventions and homework can produce noticeable changes over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and client-centered listening so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to continue work across distances. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow ongoing check-ins between sessions, and support different communication styles so clients can choose what works best for them.
