Barborita Williams, LPC

Barborita Williams is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee who helps people feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on meeting each person where they are. Her style is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping clients take practical steps forward.

She uses a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are built around the individual's needs and goals. That can mean learning new ways to respond to anger, developing skills to manage anxiety, or working through grief and loss.

Barborita uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative space where people lead the pace of change. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors together, and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Across 16 years in the field, she has worked with people facing addiction, parenting stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image issues, chronic illness, and communication problems. Practical problem-solving and clear, gentle guidance are part of her approach.

Her meetings emphasize small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable. She encourages honesty, curiosity, and steady effort rather than quick fixes. If someone wants help sorting emotional pain or making changes, she supports that work with care.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and follow-through. The therapist offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the pace and topics of care, which helps with emotional pain, attachment concerns, and choices about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and some addictive patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice present-moment experience without judgment. Simple practices build awareness of physical sensations and emotions, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to emphasize during sessions.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Ask about the ways sessions are offered so they fit your schedule and needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused work from a quiet setting or during a break at work.
