About Willow

Willow Whitehouse-Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 35 years of experience practicing in Maine. She brings a long career of work in schools and clinical settings to sessions and uses plain, direct conversation to help people who feel stuck. Willow believes people know their own stories and helps them find clearer steps forward.

She has worked with teens and adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her background includes work as a school psychologist and experience with Dance Movement Therapy and Authentic Movement, so she pays attention to how the body holds experience as well as the mind. This makes her work feel grounded and practical. Willow’s approach centers on respect and collaboration.

She emphasizes self-compassion and helps people notice strengths they may be overlooking. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and on small, useful changes that reduce distress. Existential ideas about meaning and choice often appear in her work, alongside client-centered listening and cognitive tools to manage symptoms.

She also draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Her style is calm and observant, and she aims to make therapy feel like a steady conversation. Willow offers phone and video sessions as well as live chat and text-based messaging.

She supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns, including some long-term and complex issues, and helps clients decide practical next steps for day-to-day life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed to name what matters most and make clearer decisions about their next steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It can help people understand repeated patterns in relationships and develop new ways of connecting and self-soothing.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is heard, and supports the client in finding their own solutions and building self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Willow will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting direction as progress or priorities change. The focus is on what helps the client live with more ease and clarity.

Online therapy offers flexible options that fit different rhythms of life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping care consistent.
