About Ladonna
Ladonna Williams is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience in Florida. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and sleep difficulties. Her approach is attentive and practical, focused on helping people develop everyday skills that make life feel more manageable.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and find immediate, usable changes. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens, offering a respectful, warm space where people can speak openly.
Her background includes a degree from Rollins College and two decades of clinical work with adults from many life situations. That experience includes work with first responders and people in high-stress jobs, among others, which informs how she helps with burnout and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are collaborative and interactive. She praises progress and helps clients practice strategies between meetings. People are encouraged to bring specific sleep or rest concerns for focused discussion and tools they can try right away.
Ladonna frames therapy around short-term changes and longer-term growth. She helps clients set realistic goals, track what works, and refine plans when needed. The overall aim is better day-to-day coping, improved mood, and more restful sleep when that is a concern.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting conversation. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and the therapist reflects back concerns in a supportive way to help people feel heard and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse and testing small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep difficulties, mood issues, and stress by teaching practical tools and short experiments to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then recommend whether CBT, Client-Centered work, or a blend will best fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it easier to practice sleep and stress tools when sessions fit into their regular day, and the therapist can help plan exercises that match each person’s routine.
