About Betty

Betty Williams is an LPC with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a compassionate, client-centered attitude to her work and creates a calm space where clients can explore stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, relationship and parenting difficulties, and the aftereffects of trauma or emotional abuse. Betty emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional support to help clients build coping strategies and move toward clearer goals.

Her background includes work across mood disorders, self-esteem and body image concerns, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles, as well as issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and family conflict. Betty draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening to tailor sessions to each person.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances insight, skills practice, and real-world problem solving to support lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Betty blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment principles to help clients change unhelpful thought patterns while clarifying values and taking committed action. CBT-based work focuses on identifying distorted thinking and learning practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT encourages mindful acceptance and value-driven behavior for life changes and difficult emotions.

She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes empathy and collaborative goal-setting, creating room for clients to shape the pace and focus of therapy. Determining the best combination of techniques is a cooperative process, and the therapist works with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods or life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to tailor contact style and frequency to practical needs while supporting skills practice, in-session exploration, and ongoing encouragement.
