About Patricia

Patricia Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on common young adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and relationship and family issues. She also supports people facing career questions, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Patricia draws on practical, person-focused methods. Sessions are oriented around what the person wants to work on. She listens, reflects, and helps people try different ways of responding to problems. She uses clear techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing.

Her background includes work in schools and community settings across rural and urban areas. That experience informs a direct approach to day-to-day problems like managing study and work stress, parenting strain, or feeling stuck after a big life change. She has worked with adolescents, young adults, refugees and immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people in prior roles.

In sessions Patricia helps people identify strengths and practical steps forward. She talks through coping tools, ways to reduce worry, and steps to rebuild confidence. She also addresses family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family dynamics when relevant.

People can expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and collaborative planning. The process centers on clear goals, small experiments, and building routines that fit life as a young adult.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in practical ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective so goals come from the person. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches skills to change them.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These approaches are useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping with life changes common in early adulthood. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together; she will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time between school, work, or other responsibilities. The therapist will help plan how therapy fits into everyday life and adjust the format and pace as needed.
