About Barborita
Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues around parenting. She speaks plainly and listens with respect to help clients take the first steps toward change. Her approach is warm and practical, designed for parents and adults who need clear guidance and steady support.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person’s experience. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and move at their pace.
Background and approach
Barborita also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice patterns of thought and try small behavior changes to feel better. Mindfulness practices are part of her toolkit when clients want simple ways to manage stress and stay present. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs to find their own reasons for change and build motivation that lasts.
These methods are woven into sessions to match each person’s goals. Barborita has 16 years of professional experience and holds the LPC credential, Tennessee LPC 3150. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, family and relationship issues, parenting challenges, attachment and adoption topics, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are offered in English and take place through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Her practice in Tennessee focuses on practical steps, steady support, and clear communication. She helps people sort through emotions, learn coping skills, and plan workable next steps tailored to their life.
How Barborita Uses Therapy Methods Online
Barborita blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet clients where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, validating feelings, and shaping sessions around what the client brings up. That approach helps people who need steady emotional support and clear respect for their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions often combine listening, practical exercises, and short home practices decided together so the plan feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. These formats make it easier to attend from home, keep regular contact between sessions, and use brief check-ins when schedules are tight. The variety supports people juggling parenting, work, or caregiving while still getting steady therapeutic support.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
