About me

Hi! My name is Kelly Williams and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-clinical in the state of Maryland. I have been providing mental health therapy for over 6 years and have worked with a diverse group of people of all ages. I enjoy working with adults and helping them understand what they value. I strive to provide validating, supportive and collaborative therapy to my clients. I strongly believe in recovery from mental illness and helping people develop personalized goals that help them lead fulfilling lives. I also enjoy helping my clients learn ways to express themselves through art and writing.

I am a Cognitive and Solution Focused therapist and tend to focus on helping clients become aware of how their thoughts are contributing to Depression and Anxiety they are experiencing. I help people think more realistically as well as learn to listen to and tolerate distressing emotions. I have had specialized training in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and couples.

Kelly Williams seems to be a competent therapist. Although there are times when I have to remind her of my current issues, she typically catches on and is able to help me explore issues that to date, I have not been able to address on my own. Kelly is very responsive to messaging with is an added benefit of the BetterHelp platform.

Kelly is very responsive. Around 8 pm I can expect her to respond to a journal entry or to see how I am doing.

I haven’t had many sessions yet but so far I have no complaints and I feel heard and respected. Very soothing voice and talks steady( very important to me). She has provided out of session assignments for me to reflect on different situations. Overall very helpful and sweet
