About me

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed in Oklahoma with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist and over 20 years in the behavioral health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and behavioral problems. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have worked in outpatient settings, inpatient settings, and crisis management settings with children, adolescents and families.

My counseling style is warm and client centered. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, trauma focused, and a motivational interviewing. I will adjust treatment approaches based on the client’s needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Williams. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
