John Williams is a state-licensed professional counselor practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. He has a long history of supporting people with substance use disorders as well as providing general mental health counseling.
His work rests on the idea that it is not the event itself but the way people think about events that shapes their emotional reactions. To address these patterns he uses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy - an interactive method that helps clients notice and change how thoughts about themselves, others, and the world influence emotional intensity. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes present-moment awareness and reexamining the judgments we place on ourselves and others.
John centers treatment on each person’s goals, collaborating with clients to determine what they want from counseling and how best to reach those outcomes. He works with issues such as stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, anger management, depression, LGBT-related matters, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related challenges, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
He is licensed in Georgia as a professional counselor, holding the LPC credential (license LPC011387). His style is practical and interactive, focused on increasing awareness, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and helping clients take steps toward meaningful change.
