Have there been times when you feel off? Overwhelmed or stressed about your relationships, your parenting, job, school and so on? Life can take us on an emotional roller-coaster at times. It is easy to feel like everything you are doing is wrong or even feel as if you have no one to express your true feelings to without feeling judged. I am here to help and I am committed to help my clients endure life's stressors. I am determined to give them the tools to overcome the obstacles that may come their way with healthy/positive approaches. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I received my master's degree from Grand Canyon University. I enjoy counseling couples (no LGBTQ at this time) adults, and adolescents. I have experience with working with adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar, BPD, ADHD, and schizophrenia in psychiatric hospital settings. I also have a background working with families through Child Protective Services.
In our first session we will discuss your goals and what brought you to therapy. I like to ask my clients about their currents concerns, coping skills, their background, past experiences with therapy, and how open they are to therapy.
I think working in different settings such as psychiatric hospitals and for Child Protective services has made me a well-rounded therapist that can provide a direct and concise approach with clients. I am relatable and good at building rapport with adolescents, and I understand the struggles of being a parent. I believe I do well with creating and providing a safe environment for clients where they can still express their thoughts, feelings, or concerns while still learning how to implement different skills in their own lives.
I like helping couples learn how to communicate better, guide them back to each other and learn how to love each other in healthier ways. I enjoy helping adolescents controlling their emotions, making decisions, and improve their relationships with loved ones.

With Carmelle in our sessions it feels as though I'm catching up with an old friend. She let's me get what I have to say out, but if my thinking is flawed she's very direct about it without making me feel small. She also gives suggestions, recommendations, and homework that directly correlates with my therapy.

I truly appreciate the sessions I share with Carmelle Williams. Ms. Williams is very direct and open-minded, as well as, solution oriented. She identifies triggers but is more focused on the outcomes and coping skills. She is warm and humorous, so sessions seem to fly by lol.
I have been using DBT for the past few years as a group therapist/individual therapist. It has helped many of my clients identify their triggers, coping skills and help them increase their distress tolerance level overall.
I have been using CBT for the past few years as a group therapist/individual therapist. It has helped many of my clients identify address their irrational thoughts and learn how to view difficult situations more clearly and respond in a healthy effective way.
I am currently in the process of becoming a Gottman Certified Therapist. This will be my main approach when working with couples.
