Jessie Williams
Once a previous skeptic, the quality of my personal and professional life significantly improved through therapy once I learned to trust the process and invest in myself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in Counselor Education.
I work well with military veterans and their families, as well as adults, both men and women, challenged by professional and personal issues impacting their life.
I am a US Army veteran and have worked extensively with Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Issues, and challenging adolescent behaviors with civilian and military families.
First session
Clients can expect to learn more about the onset of their issues and develop insight into various methods to accept, manage, and overcome difficulties.
Strengths
My approach to therapy is to aid my clients in developing methods that allow for relief from their difficulties and grow those methods with insight and empowerment to work through challenges. With this approach, I have found great success working with adolescents and families that are working through communication issues. I work well with military veterans and their families, as well as adults, both men and women, challenged by professional and personal issues impacting their life.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adolescents and families, particularly those struggling to reconnect, or manage changes in their life impacting in communication and relationships. I work well with military veterans and their families, as well as adults, both men and women, challenged by professional and personal issues impacting their life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In a CBT session, the client and I will work together to set specific, achievable goals and develop strategies to achieve them. These strategies may include cognitive restructuring, problem-solving techniques, exposure therapy, and various behavioral experiments.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
My most preferred treatment modality is Solution Focused. SFBT emphasizes identifying and building on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. I work to encourage my clients to envision their preferred future and explore times when the problem was less severe or absent.
