About Tovakyshe
Tovakyshe Woullard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing addictions, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. He also supports those coping with changes in life, relationship struggles, ADHD, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse. He lists adoption and foster care among his additional focuses and often works with issues around abandonment and attachment.
Woullard uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to build calm and focus. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act on their values rather than get stuck in fear or avoidance.
His background includes long experience in human services and work with older adults, foster youth, blended homes, and people affected by abuse or neglect. That practical history informs a down-to-earth style in sessions. Woullard aims to make sessions feel like problem-solving with real steps people can use between meetings.
Sessions focus on setting manageable goals, practicing new skills, and tracking progress. He brings motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons for change. The approach is collaborative - the client and therapist decide what to try next.
Woullard practices in North Carolina and works in English. He holds five years of formal clinical experience as an LCSW and builds on broader service work from earlier in his career.
How ACT, CBT, and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing alternatives to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to use. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what the client hopes to change or improve.
