Tovakyshe Woullard, LCSW

Tovakyshe Woullard is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, and changes tied to aging and geriatric issues. He brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and what steps feel manageable next.

Woullard spends sessions helping people identify values and goals. He uses simple tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He encourages mindful awareness and small actions that fit daily life.

He has five years as an LCSW in North Carolina and two decades of broader human services experience. That background shapes a calm, direct approach with adults navigating major life transitions and caregiver stress.

In sessions he often blends acceptance-based work with cognitive strategies. He also uses client-centered listening and motivational techniques to support change. The work is collaborative - the person in the room guides the pace and focus.

People come for help with trauma, anger, relationship stress, ADHD, self-esteem, and career concerns. He also supports those coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, body image, codependency, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to make challenges feel more manageable and choices clearer.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing and shifting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with stress, anger, and unhelpful thinking.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying different strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone avoid being on camera if that makes participation easier. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to an online setting to practice skills between meetings.
