About Trisha
Trisha Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Trisha also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions, and mood-related concerns.
Over two decades she has helped clients set boundaries, improve communication, and manage panic or bipolar symptoms. Her practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Trisha values straightforward collaboration. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them test what works. Conversations often include learning new ways to notice thoughts, shifting unhelpful patterns, and practicing small behavior changes.
When trauma, loss, or relationship trouble is present, she uses mindful awareness and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns. For people dealing with parenting stress or family conflict, sessions often emphasize clearer communication and realistic boundary-setting.
Her approach is goal-focused while remaining open to what matters most to each person. She encourages short experiments, revisiting what helps, and adapting plans as life shifts. Prospective clients in Washington who speak English complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Trisha uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate choices, which can help when life feels directionless after big changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills such as experimenting with new behaviors, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building routines to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so the person can find their own solutions. It supports clearer self-expression and helps people make decisions that fit their priorities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. This is checked in regularly and adjusted as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting appointments into work or family days, for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or for meeting without travel time. The therapist and client will discuss what works best for arranging sessions that fit everyday life.
