About Gazaria

Gazaria Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. She also addresses anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Gazaria treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for what matters most and helps people name feelings that are hard to put into words. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her approach includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She draws from these methods to help people understand emotions, improve communication, and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make difficult emotions clearer.

Gazaria has worked across many concerns over two decades, so she is familiar with grief, addiction, ADHD, and stress that comes from caregiving or health issues. She also supports people dealing with body image, blending families, adoption and foster-care topics, and the effects of trauma.

She offers a practical way to move forward, combining attention to feeling with steps that change daily life. People who want a therapist who listens and helps them practice different responses often find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal distress. EFT sessions help people understand their emotional responses and try new ways of relating to those feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, giving space for people to bring what matters most to each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain symptoms and teaches practical steps to change them.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. She will work with each client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using EFT to map emotional patterns, then adding CBT strategies for managing anxiety or sleep problems.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life by removing travel time and letting sessions happen from wherever a person is able to join. It can also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings if that fits someone's schedule or bandwidth. Discuss format and scheduling when you set up your first appointment so sessions support your routine.
