New to Grow
Welcome. I'm Joe Williams, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing virtual therapy for adults across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). My goal is to provide a supportive, practical, and collaborative environment where you can build lasting skills to create meaningful change.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant history, and the goals you'd like to work toward. I'll answer any questions you have, explain how I approach treatment, and we'll begin developing a plan that feels practical, collaborative, and tailored to your needs.
I combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies to help clients make meaningful progress. Rather than simply listening, I teach skills you can apply between sessions to manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build resilience. Clients often appreciate my collaborative, straightforward style and my focus on creating lasting change—not just temporary relief.
I work best with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by worry, overthinking, self-doubt, or unwanted thoughts and are ready to learn practical strategies for lasting change. Whether you're seeking relief from long-standing patterns or navigating a difficult season, we'll work together to help you move toward the life you want.
Other specialties
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge them when appropriate, and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. You'll also learn practical coping skills you can use in everyday life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches you how to stop struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings and instead respond to them in healthier ways. Rather than waiting to feel better before living your life, you'll learn to make room for uncomfortable emotions while taking meaningful steps toward the person you want to be and the life you value.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) helps you recognize how your beliefs about situations—not just the situations themselves—can create emotional distress. Together, we'll identify rigid or self-defeating beliefs, replace them with healthier and more realistic perspectives, and help you respond to life's challenges with greater flexibility, resilience, and confidence.
