About Geraldine
Geraldine Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns common to young adults such as career and identity stressors.
Geraldine uses a straightforward, interactive approach in sessions. She blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused tools to help people tackle specific problems. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clear steps rather than jargon or long theories.
She has substantial experience helping people manage anger, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and grief. Geraldine also supports those dealing with family problems, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and social anxiety or phobia. Her work includes attention to disruptive mood dysregulation and other mood-related concerns.
In therapy she collaborates with each person to set realistic goals and a pace that fits their life. Conversations aim to identify patterns, practice new skills, and try small experiments that can change daily routines and reactions.
Geraldine’s sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She guides conversations so clients leave with clear next steps they can apply between meetings. This approach can help someone who feels stuck after school, at the start of a career, or navigating early adult relationships.
How Geraldine applies key approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their concerns at the center of sessions. It relies on open listening, reflective questions, and support for people to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and sorting through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress linked to work or school.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of traumatic experiences and offers strategies to reduce triggers and build coping skills. It is aimed at helping people regain control over strong emotional reactions after abuse or other trauma.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to decide what to try first based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. She adapts methods as progress is made so sessions stay useful and relevant.
