Approach to care
I’m Julie “Jaye” Williams, LPC-S, NCC, a therapist with more than 20 years of experience in counseling, education, and professional development. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and career challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and direct when needed. I provide a culturally responsive, affirming space where you can be fully yourself while gaining clarity, useful tools, and strategies for meaningful change. I integrate CBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches, tailoring the work to your needs, strengths, and goals.
During our first visit, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been happening in your life or relationships, and what you would like to be different. We’ll begin identifying patterns, strengths, and priorities together and develop goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you.
I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and relationship-focused strategies while tailoring the work to the person or couple in front of me. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself, gain insight, strengthen what is already working, and make intentional changes that carry beyond the therapy room.

Black LPCs/LPCCs: licensed professional counselors for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. Often the most affordable entry to quality therapy.

A 2023 NAMI report found counselor wait times were 60 percent shorter on average.
