Trisha Williams, LMHC

Trisha Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Washington and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Trisha aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and straightforward.

She listens for each person's strengths and life story and builds therapy around those realities. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and practical coping skills for tough days. Trisha also helps people work through grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to addiction and bipolar mood patterns.

Her approach pulls from several methods to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy help people notice feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Trisha values collaboration and treats people as the expert of their own story. She encourages realistic goals and small, steady steps. The tone in session is supportive and direct, aiming for skills people can use between meetings.

Practical issues such as parenting stress, relationship conflict, divorce or separation, and life transitions are regularly addressed. She also supports work on self-esteem, guilt, purpose, panic symptoms, and post-traumatic stress. Trisha helps young adults navigate early-life challenges and the transitions that come with them.

How Trisha's Approaches Work Online

Trisha blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on spotting how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and then practicing different actions and thinking patterns to reduce worry and improve mood. ACT helps people notice painful feelings, clarify values, and take meaningful action even when emotions are hard to sit with.

She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person's experience. That means therapy is collaborative: the client and therapist together decide which strategies to try and adjust them as goals change. Trisha will talk through options and help pick the approaches that fit a person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, check-ins between sessions, or a way to practice new skills without scheduling a full call. These options help make therapy fit into busy days.
