About Me
Welcome to the start of your new life. My name Michelle Williams, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Dallas, Texas. With today's stigma and false beliefs about counseling, many individuals go without help. Others wait till all else fails before getting help. However, no matter when you seek help you should be able to do so with a professional who is willing to understand and listen to your story and help you on a journey to finding your better you.
I have a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2015 and a MA in Human Service Counseling: Crisis Response and Trauma from Liberty University in 2016. While my education offered me the tools and skills to be a counselor, my personal life experiences and my interaction with clients have increased my passion for helping others in need. I am currently a counselor at Christian Works for Children where I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are seeking to understand that point in life where everything seems to be at a standstill and help to figure out what’s needed to jump-start life again. I am also the owner of private practice geared towards serving the community offering affordable counseling to those in need.
My approach to counseling is allowing the client the ability to narrate and edit their own story. Through psychoanalysis, the client is able to read, write, narrate, and rewrite their life scripts offering them the opportunity through cognitive-behavioral techniques the ability to change any situation in their lives by breaking down their stories and their beliefs surrounding their stories and the challenges they believe are hindering them. I allow the client to build and structure the counseling session in a way that it’s not like your normal counseling but more like a quiet place to think, a place to laugh, a place to shed those much needed tears, and an opportunity to take off the day to day mask we hide behind and just be.
Therefore, no matter the issue: depression, anxiety, stress, work, family, PTSD, physical or emotional abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, trauma, personality disorder, schizophrenia, marital problems, or just someone to vent to, I’m here.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Williams. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Honestly one of the best therapist I could’ve gotten paired with. Mental health is so important and many people are struggling to even understand that getting help doesn’t mean your crazy but it’s you recognizing your not where you once were or where you want to be. Things may be happening that you need clarity on or you may not think you have anything wrong but even if that’s true there’s always room for improvement. I can’t stress it enough how BetterHelp helps you be a better you with your help. It starts with you signing up and getting matched with a licensed therapist that is available and right when you need them. You can schedule or send them a message, it’s a new world of therapy being offered at your fingertips. My therapist listens, analyzes, and helps me put things into perspective or realize what I didn’t on my own. Then she gives me tools or assignments that will help me resolve the issue or move forward and grow. You should join and even if you don’t get my therapist there are others waiting. Sign up, I promise you won’t regret it.
Super relatable. Very open to getting to know you and understanding how you work.
She’s an amazing counselor, I appreciate her when I disappear for a while and she allows me to hop right back in with her and keep working towards my goals.
Michelle takes the time to actively listen to my problems and issues before voicing her positive thoughts or suggestions. She never makes me feel like my problems are all my fault, like some counselors do. She is well-versed in scripture and gives me verses to read that will help guide me through what I am going through. She is awesome.
I love the way she tries to understand me and relate to me like a phone call with a friends except she's an educated professional.
She is awesome
I've only had a couple sessions with Michelle, but within those 2 sessions she listened, she offered advice and her expertise when needed and definitely helped me understand things when I had a hard time doing so.
Michelle is a wonderful counselor! When I am trying to explain how I am feeling but can't find the words, she puts it into words for me. I can discuss important topics with her, but also enjoy laughing too. Michelle is great!!!
I’ve enjoyed working with Michelle. She is a good listener and very kind. She provided insight into situations that I had not received before and was able to suggest ways to apply them to my life.
So down to earth and easy to talk to. She turned many of my tears to laughter and I’m super thankful for her!
The thing I look for in a therapist and/or counselor is someone that my sprit is so comfortable with that I word vomit my entire life story in our first meeting and that’s exactly what I got. I know that we’re definitely going to do great work together and can’t wait to continue.
I was so scared to try counseling. Anxious. But Michelle was welcoming. A good listener. She made me feel as if I’m handling grief well when i feel as if I’m failing. I felt very reassured after this initial session.
This has been an amazing experience thus far!! Michelle has been great with her support, and I will definitely be recommending her.
Michelle listens well and offers valuable feedback.
Michelle is very personable as well as attentive.
Thank you Michelle!
Michelle is a great listener and really gets what I’m saying! Sometimes she’ll kind of summarize what I’ve been babbling on about for a few minutes in a really succinct, clear way that explains my feelings perfectly that I couldn’t seem to articulate and I’m just like, “Yes!”
