Barborita Williams, LPC

Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She approaches each person with respect and calm. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward. With 16 years of experience in Tennessee, she helps people dealing with anger, depression, addiction, grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, and life changes. Her work also includes attachment and family-related topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. Her approach is collaborative. She shapes conversations and treatment plans around each person's needs and goals. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills that can be used between visits, not just talk during the appointment. Barborita uses a mix of methods including client-centered listening, cognitive behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That combination supports people who want to change habits, reduce anxiety, or cope with painful memories. People who come in often want practical help for daily stress and stronger ways to handle emotions. She offers a steady, respectful presence and works to build strategies that fit real life. Taking the first step into therapy is described as an act of courage, and she offers support through that process.

How her approaches guide online care

Barborita uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in her practice. Client-centered Therapy means she listens closely and follows each person’s priorities, helping them set goals and choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and sensations without judgment. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with strong emotions. These approaches are practical and aimed at skills people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods together. That collaborative planning helps shape what therapy looks like week to week.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also let people try techniques during typical daily routines and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
