About Willie

Willie Whited is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia with over 31 years in mental health. He holds a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling and has spent decades helping people facing serious challenges. His work includes support for people dealing with mental health and substance use concerns.

Willie has experience with adults across a wide range of issues, and he has ten years of work with children and adolescents in community settings and facilities.

Background and approach

His background includes work with co-occurring disorders and recognition for community health efforts. He completed programs with the Morehouse School of Medicine Community Health Leadership Program and the Satcher Health Leadership Institute. He uses a flexible, person-focused approach in sessions.

That means he pays attention to what motivates each person and adjusts methods to match their needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques are a common part of his practice alongside other evidence-informed methods. Parents often seek him out for help with stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.

He also works with issues such as addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, self-esteem, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. He aims to help people sort priorities, reduce overwhelm, and build usable coping skills. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps.

Willie emphasizes small changes that add up over time. He aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful while supporting each person’s path toward better day-to-day functioning.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build healthier connection and trust; it can be useful for intimacy, abandonment, or attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-oriented approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior through practical exercises and homework; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Willie collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps keep work focused and relevant to everyday parenting challenges.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when screen time is workable. Phone sessions or live chat can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is low, and text-based messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing family and life demands.
