About Greta

Dr. Greta Willoughby uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of professional experience. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps that people can use each day.

She has worked with adults across a wide range of life stages and transitions. That experience includes supporting people facing illness, caregiving demands, and the hard choices that come with aging and geriatric issues. She also helps those dealing with compassion fatigue, isolation, and midlife questions about purpose and direction.

Greta encourages people to notice their own strengths and to build on them. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through current problems, try new coping skills, and plan concrete next steps. She frames change as gradual and achievable rather than instant.

Her background includes professional and personal experience with chronic illness and caregiving. That perspective informs how she talks with clients about accepting limitations, managing stress, and finding meaning during difficult seasons. She aims to make suggestions that fit the client’s daily life.

People who choose her often want calm, clear guidance and practical strategies. She supports clients in setting realistic goals and working toward them at a manageable pace. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Willoughby uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping skills and clear problem-solving. One common approach emphasizes learning tools to reduce anxiety and manage stress through step-by-step strategies and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach centers on working through life transitions and caregiving challenges by identifying values, pacing goals, and creating manageable routines to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and adapt methods to match each person's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to adjust them.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and keep momentum between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and offer alternatives to in-person visits when managing illness or caregiving tasks. Ask about available formats during the scheduling step to choose what works best for daily life.
