About Willow
Willow Whitehouse-Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with 35 years of professional experience. She has worked across school and clinical settings and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Willow has worked as a school psychologist and brings that background into sessions with adults. She notes that many experiences are stored in the body and draws on movement-based approaches alongside talk work. This reflects a long career that includes study and practice with Dance Movement Therapy and Authentic Movement.
Her style centers on treating the person as the expert on their life. She listens for strengths and practical resources and uses those points to guide next steps. Sessions can include talking through patterns, noticing how stress shows up in the body, and trying out small behavior changes between meetings.
Willow uses several clinical approaches to frame her work, including attachment-based and client-centered ideas plus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Imago relationship techniques. These approaches provide options for addressing how relationships, thoughts, and behaviors interact with anger and other concerns.
People who want straightforward, experience-led guidance may find her approach helpful. She encourages realistic steps rather than quick fixes and supports clients who want to reduce reactive responses, repair relationship strains, or manage ongoing stressors.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Willow uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. That approach focuses on patterns in connections and helps when anger shows up around closeness, trust, or feeling threatened.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and the client's perspective. This creates space to name strengths, make sense of what is hard, and choose small, practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to identify thought and behavior patterns, and then test different responses in everyday situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will help decide which methods best match a person's goals, background, and what they want to try. That conversation usually happens in early sessions and can shift as needs change.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing therapy when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, movement awareness, and behavioral experiments to an online setting so progress can continue across formats.
