About Geraldine

Geraldine Williams is an LPC based in Texas who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and related concerns.

Background and approach

She has supported individuals coping with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. Her background also includes helping clients with social anxiety, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and family problems.

Her collaborative style emphasizes respectful sensitivity and interactive engagement. Geraldine blends cognitive and solution-focused tools, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and trauma-informed ideas to help clients build practical skills and insights.

She works with each person to design a treatment plan tailored to their priorities and moves at a pace that matches their needs. Geraldine understands that beginning therapy is a significant personal step and aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore change and resilience.

She communicates clearly about goals and next steps, helping clients progress through focused strategies and thoughtful, individualized care.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

Geraldine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles to create an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s perspective and goals guide the work. When trauma is a presenting concern, Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques are applied to address traumatic memories and their ongoing effects while supporting emotional safety and stabilization.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Geraldine approaches that decision collaboratively. She will discuss different methods with each client, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as therapy progresses so that treatment aligns with what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy techniques in real-life contexts, while also allowing clients to choose the style of interaction that best suits their needs and comfort.
