Barborita Williams , LPC

Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach is respectful and centered on each person's needs.

With 16 years of experience in Tennessee, she draws on methods that help people name problems and try small changes. Sessions emphasize clear goals, real-life tools, and steady progress. She listens carefully and adjusts the plan as concerns shift.

Clients come for a wide range of concerns, including grief, parenting strain, addiction, body image, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with anger, relationship challenges, eating concerns, and the effects of chronic illness or disability. Work often focuses on coping skills and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her style blends client-centered conversation with practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Barborita uses motivational interviewing when people want to change habits like substance use or inconsistent self-care. She helps people find the reasons they want change and build small, doable steps toward it. The focus is on collaboration, not judgment.

People who prefer remote sessions can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. The therapist prioritizes the person's experience and helps shape sessions around their goals and values. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what to work on.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. The therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which translates well to online sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Short practices during sessions and brief exercises between meetings help people stay calmer and more present in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life demands and then try methods that fit best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow a near face-to-face experience, while phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum toward change.
