Trisha Williams, LMHC - Therapist in Washington

About Trisha

Trisha Williams is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Washington and focuses on everyday challenges parents and adults face. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel useful from the first session.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addictions, and mood-related concerns like bipolar disorder. Parenting worries and family tensions are part of her regular focus.

Background and approach

Trisha uses plain language in sessions and emphasizes clear goals and steps. Her work combines several therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people act on values even when they feel stuck. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and focus during hard moments. Trisha also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time.

She listens for strengths and helps people use those strengths to make changes. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sessions may include short skill-building exercises, gentle reflection on life history, and goal setting for home.

She meets clients where they are and works to make progress that fits real life. The tone in sessions aims to be warm, respectful, and direct.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking concrete actions that match those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes by shifting attention toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with panic, depression, and stress through short exercises and homework. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Trisha treats method selection as a team decision based on each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She blends techniques when useful and checks in regularly to make sure the plan feels helpful and manageable.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into daily life. These options allow flexible scheduling and let people connect from home or another comfortable place. Practical tools, short skill practices, and follow-up messages can be shared through these formats to reinforce progress between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
