Dr. LaShonya Williams, LPC

Dr. LaShonya Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing family conflict, trauma, and intimacy-related struggles. She focuses on building on each person's strengths and treats taking the first step into therapy as an important, courageous move.

She brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work and uses straightforward, practical methods to address everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear goals, right-sized tools, and real-life steps clients can try between meetings. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful events, anger, stress, anxiety, or struggles with self-esteem and depression.

Dr. Williams uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Together these approaches help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice different responses in daily life.

Her practice also pays attention to common sources of strain such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin difficulties. She also supports people facing addictions, isolation, first responder stress, and money or life-purpose concerns.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She helps people set small, practical goals and tracks progress along the way. If someone chooses to start, she guides them through the next steps with clear directions for scheduling and beginning work together.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Dr. Williams uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into clear, manageable steps. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s own goals and timing, which helps when people need empathy and space to make sense of difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide what methods match their goals, concerns, and comfort level. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, unfolding thoughts between sessions, or scheduling quick follow-ups. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping work focused on clear steps and real-world practice.
