About Gazaria

Gazaria Williams is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and related stresses. She also helps people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy.

Gazaria emphasizes that each person knows their own story and strengths. She uses that starting point to help clients name what feels out of balance. In sessions she listens for practical patterns and moments where small changes could make daily life easier.

Her clinical work draws on several approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That mix lets her combine attention to feelings, present-day thoughts and behaviors, and the ways relationships shape experience.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and steps forward. Gazaria pays attention to coping skills, communication, and boundary-setting in ways that relate to the concerns people bring. She also addresses longer-term themes such as attachment and meaning when those issues are relevant.

Her practice includes work with a wide range of life challenges, including codependency, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career-related concerns. Sessions aim to clarify immediate problems and build skills that fit each person’s daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's perspective and building on their strengths. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and frustration with repetitive habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience in relationships and helps people notice, name, and respond to feelings that shape how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying different techniques and checking in on what is helpful as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the source profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks at work or between commitments. They also let people use quieter surroundings or a phone-only option when less bandwidth or a shorter format is needed. Talk with the therapist about what session length and setup will work best for everyday life.
