About Betty

Betty Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience and a practice based in Georgia. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Her background includes helping people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse, and she lists additional focus areas like relationship and family problems, career strain, and ADHD.

Her approach uses practical talk and skill-building. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps that match their values. Mindfulness techniques are used to help someone slow down and track what they are feeling in the moment.

Betty also uses Client-Centered methods that let the person guide the pace and focus of sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work when managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Conversations tend to focus on clear tools and short-term strategies alongside longer personal goals.

Sessions often cover communication problems, parenting stress, caregiving strain, and issues tied to abandonment or adoption and foster care. She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, isolation, impulsivity, and life transitions like divorce or midlife change.

People who choose her can expect straightforward discussion, skills practice, and planning for manageable next steps. The emphasis is on noticeable, practical changes rather than jargon. To begin, readers should use the site button to review online therapy options and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward those values despite difficult thoughts. It can help with midlife shifts, career questions, and parenting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches specific tools to reduce anxiety and low mood. Those tools are useful for stress, depression, and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase noticing of feelings in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betty will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness, DBT skills, or client-centered conversation fits best. That choice is guided by the person's goals, current challenges, and what feels manageable in weekly sessions.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking using the site controls. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a packed day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove a commute. Those practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while they balance parenting, work, and caregiving demands.
