About Gazaria
Gazaria Williams is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 24 years of experience to sessions. She centers conversations on what matters to each person and treats clients as the experts in their own stories. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more capable when life feels overwhelming.
She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and stress. She also assists with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, addiction-related struggles, sleep and eating problems, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar mood changes.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. In session she uses client-centered ways of talking alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally focused work to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives to help people find meaning and better understand long-standing themes.
Conversations are practical and paced to match each person's comfort level. Gazaria has long experience helping people navigate life transitions and complicated emotional histories. She emphasizes strengths, gently challenges unhelpful thoughts, and guides steps to improve daily coping.
Her style is respectful and straightforward, with attention to what a person wants to change. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and offers services in English. For people who prefer online care, she provides a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and supports them in finding their own solutions, which works well in talk-based video or phone sessions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and task-oriented, making it easy to use worksheets, homework, and real-time coaching during video calls or messaging exchanges.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and reactions. It helps people notice interaction patterns and try different emotional responses, which can be explored in longer video sessions or in a sequence of text-based check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapist work together to pick strategies that match needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter experience is needed, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
