Anger Management Therapists in Nacogdoches, TX

Welcome! My name is Victoria Williams and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals and family in areas such as anxiety, anger management, behavioral issues, coping skills, and depression, amongst others. I work well with adolescents in that I listen to them and help them gain insight to understanding how their behaviors play a major role in their future. I use the cognitive behavioral therapy approach as I believe thoughts are directly tied to behaviors. Once we are able to identify irrational thoughts, we can start to learn more positive functional behaviors to respond to uncomfortable situations.

Enjoying third career immensely since 1984 (former Kindergarten teacher, restauranteur). I am particularly delighted to have been trained initially in psychoanalysis and behavior modification, then later systemically and eclectically - by focusing on a person's strengths more than their weaknesses ("mental illness") we can more likely find (a) satisfactory solution(s). Main strengths - marital (relationships), drug/alcohol, emotional, (depression, anxiety, etc), life problems (school, career, bereavement, etc.), kids (behavior, discipline, school problems, etc.). I am also an SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) DOT certified

Therapy is hard work. Going to therapy for the first time or the hundredth time can be scary. Finding a therapist who fits with your needs and desires is crucial to a healthy and successful therapeutic experience. As an approachable, person-centered therapist, I support my clients in working on goals that YOU design. Through an integrative and holistic approach, my style is to guide you in navigating the roads of life challenges, mood concerns, medical conditions, relationships, severe mental illness, and other life issues.

It is an act of bravery to engage in the therapeutic journey. To sit with your worries, fears, and troubling memories can be challenging, but here’s the reality: therapy is a tool that helps with a range of issues, from anxiety to sleep, to relationships, to trauma. Acting on your bravery and starting the therapeutic journey will have an intense impact on your personal growth, healing, and well-being. You are giving yourself the ultimate gifts of self-love, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. Your whole self is welcome in our work together. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to foster personal empowerment.

When life feels overwhelming, we need to feel seen, heard, and cared for more than ever. If you find that you lack support in your personal life from family, friends, or even work, and you feel like you need more guidance, then I may be a good fit for you. I understand feeling lost and not knowing where to turn. As someone who found resilience in adversity, I know just how difficult it is to navigate these feelings alone. If you are currently in the “counselor hunting” stage, I have been in your shoes and I know it is daunting. It can feel intimidating to try to find the right fit.

I want to begin by saying, your pain is a valid experience. Counseling is a place to be heard, feel supported, and learn some new ways to handle your everyday life concerns. These concerns may be your struggling marriage, difficulties parenting, the strain of being a teenager, adjustments in life, difficulties at work or your mood in general. Many times, we know what the problem is, but are not sure what to do about it. That’s OKAY! You are not supposed to automatically know what to do in every situation. Counseling can help you better understand your situation & teach you to cope more effectively.

You look in the mirror and feel no connection with your reflection. That's not what you're supposed to look like, not who you feel you really are. The way you act around other people is focused on their comfort and expectations, not your authentic self making real connections. Maybe you have to try harder than you'd like to get people to see you as you are, and maybe no matter how hard you try, they still don't see you.
