   About Sierra

   Sierra Willis is an Ohio LPCC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains, grief, trauma and parenting challenges. She speaks English and accepts international clients. Her approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping each person find their own solutions.

   Sierra aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them. She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Together they identify strengths and build steps toward the changes the person wants to make.

   Her style draws from several practical methods, including Motivational Interviewing and cognitive behavioral ideas, along with narrative and solution-focused techniques. She adapts tools to fit each person rather than following a single formula. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small experiments, and skills that can be used between meetings.

   Sierra has six years of clinical experience working in college settings, prisons, schools, and community programs. That variety has shaped an approach that values flexibility, direct problem solving, and hope for the future.

   People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical strategies may find this style helpful. Sierra works with each person to build a plan that matches their life, pace, and priorities.

2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

   Sierra commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change and is useful for issues like low motivation or habit change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection, helping people feel heard and understood as they sort out their concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sierra collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as needs change, so the plan evolves with the person rather than staying fixed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use written exercises, real-time skill coaching, and goal tracking between sessions to support progress.
