Barborita Williams, LPC

Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps that reduce day-to-day distress and improve coping. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at making therapy feel manageable for busy lives.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered methods, which means conversations are guided by each person's priorities and pace. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit, to build awareness and calm.

Barborita brings 16 years of experience in clinical settings across Tennessee. That background includes work with grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and a range of relationship and family issues. She listens for patterns that make problems repeat and looks for small, testable changes people can try between sessions.

Sessions are collaborative. She helps set clear, realistic goals and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. Motivational interviewing informs her way of supporting change when someone feels stuck or uncertain.

Her style is compassionate and practical. People who want clear tools, steady support, and straightforward conversation tend to do well with her. She aims to make each session a useful step toward feeling more in control and more able to handle life’s demands.

How therapy approaches work online with Barborita

Barborita uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to improve mood and functioning. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, addictive patterns, and for learning practical coping strategies.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means conversations follow the client's priorities and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and guides goal setting based on what matters most to them. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple awareness and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. She adjusts plans as progress or life circumstances change so sessions stay relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video and phone calls allow deeper conversation and eye contact, while chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone needs shorter, written support. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or times when leaving home is difficult.
