01About Jacob
Jacob "Jake" Willard offers a calm, straightforward way to start tackling stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, and trauma. He creates a steady space where people can talk through painful moments and notice what matters to them. Jake is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Oklahoma with four years of experience.
He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns people repeat and how their past shapes present feelings. Jake also uses attachment-based and client-centered perspectives to focus on the relationship in the room and the client's own goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make uncomfortable feelings easier to understand rather than push them away. Jake works at a steady pace and listens for the themes that show up again and again. He helps people recognize patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears, or difficulty with trust and intimacy, and then talks through small steps to change them.
Therapy often includes talking about family of origin, communication problems, and ways to cope with life changes. People seeking support for grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, or compassion fatigue can expect a practical, human approach. Jake helps identify what feels stuck and explores choices that fit each person’s life.
The goal is clearer understanding and more room to make different choices. Starting therapy can feel hard. Jake invites people to reach out, answer a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how people connect and respond to others. Online sessions can help identify patterns of seeking closeness or pulling away, and then practice new ways of relating. This approach often helps with intimacy issues, abandonment fears, and family of origin concerns.Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance that follows the client's lead. In remote sessions this means the therapist mirrors concerns, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. Sessions may shift over time as different issues come up and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat provides quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter updates between sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
