About Barborita
Barborita Williams is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people navigate difficult life moments. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her style aims to make the first steps feel more manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
With 16 years of experience, Barborita works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress, and anxiety. She also helps people facing addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, eating issues, parenting struggles, and coping with life changes. Adoption and foster care are listed among her additional focus areas for people who want support related to those topics.
Barborita adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the person’s goals, and uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful patterns and to build calmer daily routines. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make lasting changes but feels stuck.
Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth. Expect to talk through immediate concerns, try new ways of handling thoughts or feelings, and leave with simple strategies to practice between meetings. Barborita emphasizes collaboration, so goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
She is licensed in Tennessee as an LPC. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice does not take international clients. If someone is ready to begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Barborita uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities and concerns. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and plans are shaped around those goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. CBT techniques can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger by turning ideas into small, practical exercises to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real life between meetings and then discuss what did or did not work at the next session.
