Jennifer Williams , LPC

Jennifer Williams brings 26 years of clinical experience in the mental health field, working across a wide range of settings that include community mental health, on-call crisis teams, correctional populations, homeless shelters, and care for veterans. She combines that practical background with advanced training and academic study to support people navigating grief, addiction, mood disorders, anxiety, stress, relationship and family challenges, life changes, and issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - which is a state license authorizing the practice of professional counseling. In addition to the LPC credential, her background includes training as a Master Addiction Counselor and certification in grief therapy, along with specialized training in trauma-informed care and Adlerian approaches. Her academic preparation includes a Master in Community Mental Health and a Doctorate Degree in Theology, reflecting both clinical and broader humanistic perspectives.

Jennifer draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs, blending cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered work, and solution-focused interventions when appropriate. She is experienced helping people with practical coping strategies for sleep, career concerns, financial stress, postpartum and seasonal mood shifts, and end-of-life or hospice-related counseling. Jennifer is currently accepting clients in Georgia and provides supportive, goal-oriented care designed to meet individuals where they are.

Therapeutic Approaches Tailored for Online Care

Jennifer commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy into her online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with practical skills and homework-like exercises, making it useful for mood disorders, stress, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports a person’s own capacity for growth, which can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Licensed professionals, including Jennifer, assess a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules, to continue work through life changes, and to access therapy from home or other comfortable spaces while still working with a trained therapist.
