About La

La Barbara Williams focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or changes in relationships. She is straightforward and practical in sessions, and she works to create a plan that fits each person's needs and daily life. Williams holds a Master of Social Work and practices as an LCSW in Virginia.

She brings 11 years of experience in clinical social work to her current practice and draws on a longer career working in several mental health roles.

Background and approach

Earlier in her career she worked as a life skills counselor, an outreach and outpatient therapist, and an in-home counselor. She also served as a clinical supervisor, helping shape care and guide less-experienced clinicians. In sessions she focuses on building individual treatment and assessment plans.

That includes setting goals, tracking progress, and adjusting steps when needed. She also has experience with behavioral and discharge planning and with suicide prevention work. People meet her for help with relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting stress, addictions, trauma, eating concerns, anger, career transitions, bipolar management, and coping with big life changes.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of the work. The therapist listens carefully, follows the client's lead, and helps clarify goals and values to guide each session. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and steady support while sorting through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan together over time. That collaborative process helps clients discover what works best for them.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging lets people connect on a flexible schedule or send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working toward goals from different locations.
