About Greta

Dr. Greta Willoughby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She draws on her long career supporting adults through transitions and health-related challenges. Dr. Willoughby encourages people to recognize their strengths and take practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She has worked with adults across the lifespan and supports those facing illness, caregiving responsibilities, and physical limitations. Her background includes both professional and personal experience with chronic illness and caregiving, which informs her practical approach. She emphasizes realistic, manageable goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In sessions she talks through current problems, identifies helpful patterns, and practices skills to reduce stress and anxiety. For relationship concerns she helps people clarify needs, improve communication habits, and rebuild trust in day-to-day interactions. For self-esteem and motivation she uses concrete steps to increase confidence and follow-through.

Dr. Willoughby describes clients as the creators of their own stories and focuses on strengths people already have. She aims to make the work collaborative and down-to-earth. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people try new ways of coping.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Therapeutic approaches often used by clinicians include brief, skill-focused interventions that teach concrete tools to manage anxiety and stress. These approaches break problems into smaller parts and give simple strategies people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Another common approach centers on problem-solving and behavior change to support motivation and self-esteem. That method focuses on small, achievable steps to build confidence and momentum when facing life changes, caregiving demands, or chronic health issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust strategies, and track progress over time.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and can be scheduled around caregiving or medical appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and flexibility to pick a time that works with work or family obligations.
