About Jennifer

Jennifer Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 26 years of experience. She works with adults facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship strain, and the practical pressures of parenting and family life. She also supports people coping with career issues, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Jennifer's approach is straightforward. She uses clear, evidence-based techniques and talks through specific problems with each person. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, not just conversation. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based work to help manage mood and stress.

Her background includes practice in community mental health, crisis response, care for people experiencing homelessness, work with incarcerated populations, and veteran services. Those roles shaped a practical, problem-solving style that aims to address immediate concerns and daily routines.

Jennifer holds advanced degrees including a doctorate in theology and a master’s in community mental health in addition to her LPC credential. Her long experience includes grief and end-of-life counseling and work with addiction-related concerns. She is based in Georgia and provides services in English.

People who contact her will find direct, steady support for specific issues at home and work. She focuses on concrete steps for coping with loss, anger, mood shifts, difficult life changes, and the recurring stresses of family and parenting roles.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking steps that match your values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. It is commonly used for mood problems, stress, and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made, so techniques can be adjusted over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter location when that is possible. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you schedule so you know how to plan for visits.
