About Barborita
Barborita Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating issues, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She uses practical methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people build coping strategies and make concrete adjustments to daily life.
Barborita adapts discussions and plans to each person’s situation. That can mean working through painful memories, learning ways to manage anger, or building routines to reduce anxiety and depression. She helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and tries new ways of responding.
Past work has included a mix of trauma-related and day-to-day concerns. She supports people dealing with family conflict, parenting stress, substance issues, chronic illness, body image, and the emotional strain of major life changes. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on next steps.
Barborita practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. When someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals together.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the client’s perspective. It focuses on building a respectful working relationship and letting the person lead the pace and topics that matter most. This can help when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior changes such as substance use or problematic routines.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. It can help people notice impulses, lessen rumination, and steady emotions during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, daily life, and preferences. That collaborative choice can be revisited as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a job, school schedule, or busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and offer options if someone prefers not to be on camera. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
