Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur.
My clinical experiences began in acute psychiatric treatment facilities and have taken me through a variety of environments and populations to include adolescents as well as adults. I feel the therapeutic relationship can produce change through hard work and guidance as well as creativity and persistence. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important foundations for change.

Couldn't connect with the guy. Constantly wants to change schedules, and claims to have connection issues. Paid for a month and didn't even get 1 session. What a scam...

He is an excellent listener and quite available. His responses are timely. His use of questions cause me to consider things deeply without getting lost in the topic. He doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. Rather, he accompanies me as I explore. This is just what I needed during my sabbatical.

Jeff’s a great guy I wasn’t really for therapy but he’s an easy to talk to guy, easy going, and helpful. He makes it feel more like a comfortable conversation than some weird awkward interaction with a doctor or whoever. Jeff’s the man!

Have had 2 sessions with Jeffrey so far, and the experience has felt very helpful to me. Jeffrey treats my situation with much more seriousness than other therapists I’ve reached out to in the past. As someone who is looking for real solutions to my problems, this is something I appreciate a lot. Looking forward to continuing my journey with Jeffrey’s guidance.

Working with Jeffrey Wiliams has saved my marriage. He has greatly helped me identify my CPTSD triggers, helped me process through the aftermath of being in a narcissistic first marriage. He has helped me communicate better with my new husband and not let the past dictate my wonderful future. He always offers great insight and helps me reveal things I would never have thought of before without his help. Thanks Jeffrey I appreciate you.!

Jeff asks probing questions and allows clients to embarrass themselves open-endedly and within an hour give up on Betterhelp and therapy generally because he decides belatedly that he is unwilling to work with them or try to, despite the client recognizing a dozen of their issues in his list of expertise topics, and the reason provided for rejecting the client is their need (in his own firm opinion) for the specific CBT therapy listed at the top of his bio and then again at the top of his techniques.

I’ve only had one visit and was a little skeptical of the texting session. He understood completely and didn’t push me about things I wasn’t ready to talk about. He recommended that we do video the next time for my comfort. He gave great advice and really seemed to be concerned for my mental health and getting me healthier. I am thankful for Dr. Williams and look forward to our next visit.
