About LaShonya
Dr. LaShonya Williams is an LPC licensed in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression.
She focuses on practical, observable steps rather than abstract theories. Sessions are oriented around identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits. She guides people to test new ways of responding to stressful situations and relationship strain.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered practices. That means she helps clients notice thought patterns, try different behaviors, and reflect on what works. At the same time she listens for each person’s goals and adjusts the pace to what they want to work on.
Dr. Williams has supported people through communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin problems. She also addresses first responder issues, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, and financial stress as they come up in sessions.
The first session typically looks at immediate concerns and practical goals. After that she works with clients to build short-term strategies and practice skills between meetings. Progress is tracked with clear steps so people can see what changes are helping.
How Cognitive Behavioral and Client-Centered Work Online
Dr. Williams uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on specific beliefs and behaviors and gives concrete exercises to practice between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, stress, anger, and mood concerns.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and perspective. That approach emphasizes active listening and shaping sessions around what the client wants to achieve. Together these approaches mix skills practice with clear goals set by the client and therapist.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose strategies based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist review what is working and adjust the plan as needed.
