Willie Whited , LCSW, CSW

Willie Whited is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who holds additional CSW credentials, representing clinical social work qualifications in the state of Georgia. He also earned a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling and brings 31 years of experience in mental health across a range of clinical settings.

His practice has included work with individuals facing serious mental illnesses, complex personality disorders, and co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. That work led to recognition from the NAACP and completion of certification through the Morehouse School of Medicine Community Health Leadership Program at the Satcher Health Leadership Institute.

Although much of his experience is with adult clients, he has ten years of experience serving children and adolescents in community and facility settings. His approach is eclectic and tailored to each person’s needs and motivations, often incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other techniques aligned with current best practices.

Willie emphasizes helping individuals identify distractions and barriers to change, and he supports them in moving toward self-fulfillment through practical, person-centered work. He is accepting new clients in Georgia and offers care grounded in decades of clinical experience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward meaningful goals while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional responses; it is useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and challenges around intimacy and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to change them, often helping with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Willie Whited works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier for individuals to access licensed professionals from their own communities and balance therapy with daily life.
