About Geraldine

Geraldine Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. She works with clients coping with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and intimacy-related concerns. She also has a focus on adoption and foster care matters and caregiver stress.

Her approach is interactive and respectful. She listens first, then collaborates on clear goals. She uses practical tools from cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to address everyday problems.

In sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means conversations aim to understand feelings, spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting current functioning.

Geraldine designs plans that match each person’s needs and pace. She explains steps plainly and checks in often to see what’s working. The style is direct but compassionate, aiming for progress in manageable steps.

With more than two decades of practice, Geraldine draws on a broad base of clinical experience across mood disorders and anxiety-related problems. She invites people to bring their real concerns and to take part in shaping the work together. This practical, client-centered stance helps people move toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and improved relationships.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, respect, and letting the client guide the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs empathetic support and space to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses straightforward exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try specific changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and attention-related challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people better understand and express emotions in relationships. It is often used when closeness or intimacy becomes difficult and when stronger emotional awareness could improve connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress is seen.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting appointments into a busy schedule, avoiding travel time, and choosing quieter times for focused conversations. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or for sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort make that a better option.
