About Barborita
Barborita Williams is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping parents and adults navigate stressful life moments. She brings clear, practical support for concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, grief, and parenting strain. Her style is warm and respectful and she adapts to each person’s needs.
With 16 years of experience, Williams shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual. She listens first, then works with the person to set simple goals and steps forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at real change rather than jargon. She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. That includes techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, ways to increase present-moment calm, and motivational strategies to support behavior change.
These approaches are applied flexibly to fit the person in front of her. Her practice pays attention to relationship and family concerns, attachment and adoption questions, and the particular stresses caregivers face. She also addresses trauma, abuse, and issues that often follow such experiences, like anger, emptiness, or substance use.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Parents and adults who want clear tools, steadier emotion management, and help moving through difficult transitions may find her approach useful. She practices as an LPC in Tennessee and conducts work in English.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and creates a collaborative plan. It begins by listening closely, then shaping sessions around what the client wants to change and the pace that feels right.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier habits, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple ways to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Practices range from short breathing exercises to noticing bodily sensations, helping people manage strong emotions and chronic stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Treatment can shift over time as goals change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Chat and text make it easier to fit brief support into a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make it possible to keep consistent care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
