About Tovakyshe
Tovakyshe Woullard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with addictions, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, and codependency concerns. He also supports people facing career strain, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to trauma or abuse.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He listens to what is happening now and asks about how patterns developed. That helps identify small, manageable steps a person can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and actions.
Tovakyshe also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and Motivational Interviewing to address readiness for change. Mindfulness practices are offered when someone wants tools to steady attention and reduce reactivity. Together these approaches aim to make daily choices feel more under a person’s control rather than ruled by someone else’s needs.
He has long experience in human services, including roles with older adults, military families and teens in challenging circumstances. That background shapes a practical, problem-focused style. Sessions tend to balance listening with goal-oriented exercises and plain feedback.
People looking to address people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, or the impact of living with another person’s addiction will find workable strategies and clear next steps in his sessions.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are difficult. It can help with codependency patterns by identifying personal priorities and actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes following the client’s pace and priorities, allowing the person to lead what gets discussed and explored.Picking the right approach is part of the work. He will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited as you progress so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. They can also let someone use audio-only meetings when video is not feasible. Ask about specific formats when you schedule to find what matches your routine.
