About John
John Williams is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, grief, and other life changes. He also supports those facing issues around intimacy, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
He favors direct, practical sessions that focus on clear skills and small, steady changes. Sessions often include examining communication patterns, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and building coping strategies for strong emotions like anger and frustration. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when substance use or readiness for change is part of the picture.
John pays attention to how past attachment and family of origin problems affect present relationships. He will talk through patterns of codependency, control issues, abandonment concerns, and guilt or shame. Work with him tends to combine short-term problem solving with deeper attention to the stories that keep people stuck.
Clients can expect goal-focused conversations that name specific steps to try between sessions. He uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and act in line with chosen values. Solution-focused methods are used when the priority is practical change fast.
John also addresses issues such as domestic violence aftermath, drug and alcohol addiction, fatherhood concerns, and commitment or communication problems. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches used in remote sessions
John commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings and still act in line with what matters to them; it can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of relationships. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying concrete experiments to change them, which is useful for anxiety, anger reactions, and low mood.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing when substance use or readiness for change is relevant. That approach concentrates on the client’s own reasons for change and practical next steps rather than persuasion. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals and preferences.
