About Blandina
Dr. Blandina Rose-willis draws on client-centered listening as the foundation of her work. She blends that approach with practical methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, and career questions.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan and speaks English. Her early work included helping people re-enter the workforce after incarceration and supporting those overcoming addiction. She then provided counseling at university and community college settings, helping students and other adults with class completion, career choices, housing instability, and feelings of worthlessness.
Background and approach
Dr. Rose-willis has held administrative roles after completing her PhD. In those positions she supervised staff, taught communication skills, and helped departments solve practical problems.
Those experiences shaped how she organizes therapy sessions to be direct and useful. She approaches clients holistically, attending to mental health alongside physical health, self-care, and life roles. She values unconditional positive regard and trusts that people can build new skills and move forward when given support and options.
Group work has been an ongoing part of her practice, including workshops on LGBTQ legal and social issues for teachers. She also counseled people coping with depression tied to relationship strain, overwhelm, or health changes. Her sessions aim to combine listening with concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Using compassionate listening with practical online tools
Dr. Rose-willis combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered therapy prioritizes listening and unconditional positive regard so people feel heard before making choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, adjusting methods if something does not fit. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that targets career issues, relationship strain, addictions, ADHD, grief, or other concerns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to try different formats as needs change.
