Barborita Williams, LPC

Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee who focuses on helping people through midlife transitions and related stresses. She offers straightforward support for worries like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and struggles with relationships. Her approach is practical and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous or unsure.

With 16 years of experience, Barborita adapts conversations and plans to each person she sees. She listens for what matters most, then works with clients to set realistic goals. Sessions may include exploring patterns that keep someone stuck, practicing new ways to manage strong emotions, and building plans for change.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice sensations and feelings without immediately reacting.

Barborita treats concerns such as addiction, parenting stress, eating issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and family-related problems like attachment or blended family tensions. She combines compassion with straightforward suggestions so clients can apply steps outside of sessions.

People who choose her often want a counselor who is calm, direct, and focused on practical change. She encourages questions about the process and tailors plans to fit each person’s life and goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Many of her methods move well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to build trust and clarity; it helps people feel heard and decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to try practical experiments and change unhelpful patterns, which often leads to homework clients can practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and bodily sensations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That collaborative plan can shift as progress is made or new concerns come up.

Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using in-the-moment exercises, like breathing or behavioral experiments, during the week so progress continues between meetings.
