Background and approach
Many people come to her for help with anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with big life changes. Her work draws on several approaches that fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and personal goals. She also uses Trauma-Focused and Solution-Focused methods when those approaches match a person's concerns. Clients who prefer remote options can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions follow a rhythm set by the person in therapy, focusing on clear goals and small, measurable steps. The therapist explains options so people know what to expect. Dr.
Williams holds Minnesota and South Dakota psychologist licenses: MN Psychologist LP6201 and SD Psychologist 419. She works from South Dakota and has a long history of helping people rebuild confidence and handle life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective, with the therapist following the client’s pace and priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants to feel heard and make choices that match their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It helps people with anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems by teaching practical skills to change thinking patterns and try different responses.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, try different methods when useful, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration makes it easier to settle on strategies that feel helpful and realistic.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to match a person’s routine. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins, and text lets someone reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for work, family, and changing schedules while keeping the focus on clear goals and step-by-step progress.
