About Hattie

Hattie Williams is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina who works with children, teens, and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related challenges.

Background and approach

She brings six years of professional counseling experience and more than thirty years in human services, drawing on direct mental health work in schools and national grief counseling settings.

Hattie’s background includes grief support for children as well as experience with trauma, anger, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, intimacy-related and family issues, and a range of mood and adjustment difficulties. Her therapeutic stance centers on respect, compassion, and listening, with a collaborative approach that supports clients at their own pace.

Hattie uses a flexible, client-focused mix of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-informed strategies, mindfulness practices, client-centered techniques, narrative therapy, and solution-focused elements. She aims to help clients identify strengths, reframe obstacles, and move toward more fulfilling daily life.

Hattie emphasizes dignity and partnership in the work and invites people to take steps toward growth when they feel ready.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Practical Access

Hattie often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based principles into online care. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and specific behavior challenges. Attachment-informed work explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to help clients improve trust, intimacy, and relational coping skills.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so therapy reflects each individual’s values and pace. Together these approaches allow for structured skills practice as well as reflective exploration, and the therapist works with clients to determine which combination best fits their goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow for consistent contact across busy schedules, opportunities for brief check-ins or extended sessions, and the ability to use interactive tools during CBT-informed work and mindfulness exercises. The therapist and client will choose the mix of formats that supports progress and practical needs.
