About Sebastion

Sebastion Williams is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem concerns, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career worries, bipolar disorder, and issues around coping with life changes and coaching. He also focuses on abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, control issues, and related concerns.

Williams uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and mindfulness approaches. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies and small experiments to try between meetings.

He draws on long experience as a frontline clinician and crisis supervisor. That background informs a direct, problem-focused style for people dealing with strong emotions, impulsivity, or recurring patterns. He also has experience leading care managers in government programs.

Williams identifies as neurodiverse and describes how that perspective shapes his work. He pays attention to the ways people adapt their behavior to fit social expectations and to the fatigue that can cause. He offers support for finding areas of control and practical influence in daily life.

In sessions he talks through specific problems, tests small changes, and tracks what works. The approach is action-oriented and concrete. People leave with clear next steps and experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Sebastion commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down problems into thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, then tries specific, testable changes. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and help clients clarify what matters most to them, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach paying attention to present-moment experience without judgment. Each method gives a different kind of tool for stress, anxiety, impulsivity, or low mood.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed based on what helps. The focus is on practical experiments and reviewing what changes between sessions.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. For some people online sessions also make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and to keep momentum between meetings.
