More about Carol

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

My name is Carol Williams, and I am a therapist who is experienced in creatively integrating research, knowledge, observation, and lived experience to produce wisdom that understands what is not said when trying to express the inexpressible. I specialize in working with ways to understand, heal and release the parts of trauma, grief, anxiety, and PTSD that are harmful, while at the same time valuing the parts that provided insight and wisdom that is gained through struggle. I utilize various techniques, all of which are anchored in quieting the noise in our mind so we can hear that inner voice that acts as our compass.

I do encourage holistic techniques that factor in breathing, health, and meditation. Therapy is one way to turn down the noise and listen to our inner voice. I have worked with people from diverse walks of life throughout my career, each with an individuated narrative that also has shared themes of human struggle. Insight is powerful, but we all have blind spots due to having our own biases with ourselves. Having clarity also depends on myriad but informed perspectives that can help remove blockages that impede clarity which, in turn, generates better decisions. Better decisions equal healthier effects in life.

I learn so much from the people I work with, as I believe in the collaborative approach that reveals answers that have been there but are weighed down by stress, pain, and fear. If answers can’t be reached, then excellent questions that deepen the quality of our pursuits are just as important. Choosing the right therapist is a vital decision that influences the direction of that growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
