About Gazaria
Gazaria Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 24 years of experience helping people address family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns. She works with adults who notice patterns from their upbringing affecting current relationships and well-being. Gazaria speaks English and accepts international clients.
Her approach centers on listening and building on what a person already knows about their life. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow the client's lead, and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused work is used when relationships and closeness are the focus, and Jungian or existential perspectives can help with deeper life meaning questions.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Gazaria aims to help people name repeating roles, understand family expectations, and try new ways of relating. Practical tools for stress, anxiety, sleep, and managing mood are offered alongside exploratory work about identity and values.
She has seen a wide range of concerns over two decades in Florida, including addictions, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, caregiving stress, and issues tied to adoption and blended families. This background informs how she supports people facing overlapping problems.
People who come for family of origin issues often want concrete steps and clearer boundaries. Gazaria helps clients notice patterns, practice different responses, and track small changes in daily life. To begin, she asks about goals and what the client hopes will be different.
How Gazaria’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach typically involve open conversation, clarification, and reflection to help people make sense of repeating family roles and expectations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing homework to track progress on anxiety, mood, or sleep problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change emotional responses. Online work with EFT can help someone practice new ways of expressing needs and responding to others when intimacy or relationship issues are central.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gazaria will work with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, values, and what they want to change. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations when schedules or distance make in-person meetings difficult.
