About Willow

Willow Whitehouse-Briggs is a Maine-based licensed clinical professional counselor with 35 years of experience. She combines years of clinical work and life experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Willow writes plainly and listens closely, meeting people where they are in life and helping them move forward at a steady pace.

Her background includes work as a school psychologist and long involvement with dance movement therapy and authentic movement.

Background and approach

Those experiences shape her sense that feelings and memories often live in the body as well as the mind. She brings that embodied perspective into sessions while keeping conversation practical and grounded. Willow draws on Jungian ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches.

She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral and existential work when helpful. Her style is collaborative - she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their story and helps them build on strengths they already have. Sessions focus on real-life change.

Willow supports people working through grief, trauma, anger, and relationship strain, as well as issues like postpartum mood changes, seasonal mood shifts, obsessive thoughts, and challenges common to veterans and first responders. She pays attention to aging and end-of-life concerns too. Her approach emphasizes compassion and self-love as foundations for growth.

Willow aims to offer steady support and practical tools while honoring each person’s unique path toward a more satisfying life.

Online support

How Willow’s approaches translate to online work

Willow uses Jungian-informed work to help people look at underlying themes in their life stories and the symbols that shape feeling and behavior. This approach can be useful for adults who want to reflect on long-standing patterns and greater meaning in their experience.

She also draws on attachment-based methods, which focus on how early relationships influence current connections and emotional responses. That work helps people improve trust, boundaries, and emotional regulation in close relationships. Willow pairs this with client-centered listening, which means sessions follow the person’s pace and priorities and emphasize empathy and respect.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Willow will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts over time based on what is helping. Clients can expect to discuss practical steps alongside deeper reflection as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and movement-informed work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short text or chat can serve as quick check-ins, and messaging helps people keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
