Barborita Williams, LPC

Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma, anger, depression, and related struggles. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to meet each person where they are. With 16 years of experience, Barborita tailors conversations and care to each person’s needs. She listens closely and builds a plan that fits the situation rather than using one fixed method. That can mean practical steps to manage strong emotions, ways to reduce anxiety, or strategies for coping with grief and life changes. Her work often addresses problems tied to family and relationships, including attachment and blended family issues. She also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, or caregiving strain, and those grappling with addiction, body image, or parenting stress. Living with health challenges is one area she lists among her focuses. Barborita uses approaches that emphasize the client’s voice and goals. She draws on client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people find what works for them. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed, with practical tools offered along the way. Many people come for help with everyday pressures as well as deeper trauma. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages small, steady steps toward change. If someone wants to begin, they can use the directory’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. It means sessions are led by what the client wants to talk about, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help clarify choices and next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT tools or adding mindfulness exercises for stress management.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or quieter sessions that avoid daily disruptions. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tools so therapy fits into everyday life rather than requiring major changes.
