About Barborita
Barborita Williams is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage anger and cope with stress. She brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to make conversation feel straightforward and useful. Many clients come to her looking for relief from anxiety, depression, or trauma-related concerns.
With 16 years of experience, she adapts the pace and focus to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps such as recognizing unhelpful thoughts, learning grounding skills, and testing small behavior changes between meetings.
Background and approach
She also addresses substance use, grief, and the strain of caregiver roles when those issues come up. Barborita draws on client-centered ideas to keep the conversation rooted in what matters to the person sitting across from her. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice thinking patterns that fuel anger or low mood.
Mindfulness practices help people find steadier moments in daily life. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests tools and experiments to try. She talks in plain language and breaks strategies into simple steps.
Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for each person. People who are juggling life transitions, parenting stress, or relationship problems will find concrete skills and steady support. Barborita welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a busy life and what a typical session will look like.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy keeps the focus on the person's needs and values. It involves open listening and asking questions that help the client name what matters and decide goals. This approach is useful for people who want a counselor who follows their lead and adapts to their pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can help with anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to try techniques and adjust the plan together.
Online sessions make regular contact more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and screen resources, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins or on-the-go support. This range of formats helps people fit counseling into work, family, and other commitments.
