With the short time I was with him he was very caring and attentive and I would recommend him to a more down to earth person. He’s enjoyable to talk with also. I wish him the best! Thank you!
More about Lemuel

"Life without change is not living; To be uncomfortable means that change is right around the corner!" I believe these words wholeheartedly as every individual arrives at a crossroads that determine whether they move forward, backward or remain stagnant. I work alongside those who may be within a crossroad in life that has them questioning which direction to choose. In my work as a Therapist, my clinical training and experience encompasses depression, couples enrichment, grief/loss, separation/divorce, relationship issues, and other emotional/interpersonal disturbances. I specialize in trauma such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, and death/illness.
As a Therapist, I subscribe to trauma-informed strength based, Cognitive/Emotive Behavioral and Gestalt models of therapies, believing in the importance and connection of choice, empowerment, thinking and feeling for creating long-lasting change within individuals and their varying "parts of self".
Through exploring your sense of meaning and empowering your "choices", I can help you gain the ability to achieve personal growth, autonomy, improved relationships, regulated emotions, increased self-esteem, clarified self-identity, coping skills, increased communication and problem-solving skills, decreased anxiety and depression, improved lifestyle, and a deeper sense of self-worth.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

It has been amazing and super helpful
I appreciated his attentiveness and always giving me advice that were actions I could try out no matter the scenario. He had a down to earth approach and I really got a lot from our sessions.
Lemuel knows what he's talking about! The man is on point when I'm talking to him about something, and has great insights. He even switched up types of therapy for me when one type wasn't working for me with another therapist. He's kind, professional, and really has a great rapport with his clients.
Mr. Williams is highly professional and incredibly down to earth therapist. He challenges you without pushing you, and he celebrates your wins.
It is said that ENFJs are over represented among top clinicians in the mental health field, and my opinion is that Highly Sensitive People deserve particular recognition. Lem Williams is both, and his counsel and empathy have been invaluable for me. I would especially encourage anyone who others recognize as highly sensitive, deep, or thoughtful to try and establish a connection, as I would regard these as his strengths.
Lemuel helped me look at my problems from a different perspective and had me challenge my way of thinking. Lemuel was kind and compassionate whenever we would talk and gave some good advice that I will continue to practice.
Lem has been super supportive and offered a great plan to start tackling a myriad of concerns. Lem responds quickly and very thoroughly. I always feel heard and supported and open to the advice or suggested work that follows.
Lemuel's sessions were incredibly helpful. The resources he provided really made me think about the problems I was having and how to address them. He was comfortable to speak with and kind.
Lemuel helped me get through a difficult life change. He helped me break down the problems and apply effective strategies to solve them. He is compassionate, supportive and his advice works.
Lemuel is very positive, super supportive and helped me trust my life's journey and the process! I know that now I believe in myself all good things follow - Things can and will get better! Just believe and be true to yourself! Thank you so much!
Lemuel has been super awesome so far! He responds to me whenever I need help and respects and cares about my issues. He’s helping me keep my mind straight through anxiety, relationship issues, and teaching me how to love myself again. He also has a great sense of humor and has been super relatable to me! Thank you!!!
He’s a really good listener and is able to interpret and anticipate all my needs and clears out my mind and helps me see what’s really important.
He is very positive, understanding, motivating, supportive and helpful! I would give him my recommendation.
Great guy. I’m in the middle of treatment but I’m learning a lot and having this has helped.
