About Barborita

Barborita Williams is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) based in Tennessee who helps people facing anger, trauma, depression, anxiety, and related struggles. She speaks English and draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady, respectful support. She frames therapy as a team effort and aims to meet each person where they are.

Her sessions focus on practical steps a person can use day to day. She listens first and tailors conversations to what matters most to the client. That can mean learning ways to calm intense feelings, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or building routines that reduce stress and burnout.

Barborita blends several clinical approaches in her work. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into everyday life. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people working through change.

She has worked with concerns such as addictions, grief, parenting stress, body image, attachment and abandonment wounds, chronic illness, and communication problems. Her background includes helping people cope with life transitions and caregiver strain.

Barborita emphasizes clear, respectful dialogue and practical skills. She encourages people to try small changes and to notice what helps. If someone wants to start, she asks them to use the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short questionnaire to be matched and scheduled.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s needs and goals, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering support that fits their pace. This approach can help people feel heard and build confidence to tackle anger, grief, or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that worsen mood or trigger anger. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and helps people practice different responses between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention exercises into daily life to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These simple practices can assist with managing strong emotions, cravings, or rumination.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. People often try a mix of techniques until they find what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce time spent traveling. It also supports quicker check-ins and allows use of tools like short behavioral exercises or guided attention practices between meetings.
