About Barborita

Barborita Williams is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people during hard transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and steady support for whatever brought someone to therapy.

With 16 years of experience in Tennessee, she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also helps with addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship or family concerns. Other areas she addresses include body image, attachment questions, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic illness.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to the individual. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when people want clear strategies for thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness skills are offered to ease stress and improve focus.

Her style is direct but compassionate. People can expect practical steps and down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon. The therapist helps create a plan together and adjusts it as progress is made.

Barborita emphasizes realistic goals and tools that fit daily life. She encourages clients to try small changes and notice what works. If you are navigating pregnancy and childbirth related stress or other life changes, she offers steady support through those transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding and meeting the person where they are. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead to shape sessions that feel useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what's available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during breaks. It also lets a therapist guide practical skills you can use between sessions, like CBT exercises or mindfulness practices, so the work connects to everyday life.
