About Betty
Betty Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and focuses on common struggles people bring to therapy, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship issues.
She aims for practical work in sessions. That includes noticing thought patterns, trying new coping skills, and practicing better communication. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches to help people manage mood and behavior.
Her background includes many years supporting people after trauma and emotional abuse. She also helps with career strain, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and problems tied to adoption and foster care. Clients often come for help with impulsivity, anger, isolation, and life transitions.
In session she blends client-centered listening with structured skill-building. That can mean tracking thoughts and testing unhelpful assumptions, learning acceptance strategies, or practicing distress-tolerance skills. Sessions move between exploring what’s happening now and trying concrete techniques to change it.
She describes therapy as collaborative work toward clear goals. That can include improving day-to-day coping, repairing communication, or finding new ways to manage mood. People who prefer direct, skill-focused sessions may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Betty commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences, clarifying values, and taking action toward what matters. It can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and feelings.She also uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s concerns and mindfulness strategies to build attention and tolerance for strong emotions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try techniques that fit the person’s needs and preferences as they work together.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur. Ask about the exact session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
