About LaShonya

Dr. LaShonya Williams is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy challenges, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on 22 years of clinical experience to support clients as they identify strengths and build practical skills to move through difficult life chapters. Dr.

Williams emphasizes that clients are the experts of their own stories and works collaboratively to bolster resilience and clarify goals. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques with a client-centered stance, offering both structured tools and a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship.

Dr. Williams attends to related concerns such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin complications, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, and money-related stress.

She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to create a steady, goal-focused process so clients can explore options and practice new ways of coping.

Integrating Approaches for Online Healing

Dr. Williams uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship difficulties. CBT focuses on practical tools and exercises that can be practiced between sessions to produce measurable changes in mood and functioning.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathy, genuineness, and acceptance to create a collaborative space where clients are treated as the experts in their own lives. This approach supports exploration of values, self-worth, and relational patterns while the therapist offers reflective listening and nonjudgmental support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Williams works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She emphasizes collaboration so interventions are tailored and adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between meetings, and access therapy from home or work when needed.
