About Tovakyshe
Tovakyshe Woullard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and codependency. He draws on five years as an LCSW to guide clients through hard life changes and stressful times. He uses plain language and practical steps so conversations are easy to follow.
He focuses on building acceptance alongside change. Sessions often look at patterns that keep people stuck and then try small experiments to see what shifts, one step at a time. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and from mindfulness to help people notice what is happening in the moment.
Tovakyshe also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter to them. Motivational interviewing is woven in when ambivalence about change comes up, helping people find their own reasons to move forward. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
He has experience supporting people with family and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging. He works with clients around career strain, communication problems, body image, and other life disruptions. His style is straightforward, empathic, and goal oriented.
Sessions are offered in English in North Carolina. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options and scheduling details before booking.
How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those goals despite difficult feelings. It often suits people facing long-term stress, grief, or questions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by exploring their mixed feelings and uncovering personal reasons to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time - for example starting with motivational interviewing, then moving into ACT or CBT as a client gains clarity and momentum.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit a work break, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins when schedules are busy. Others prefer approaches that include short phone check-ins or longer video sessions depending on energy and focus. Discussing practical needs during the first contact helps shape an approach that fits everyday life.
