About Folayan
Folayan Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation.
She frames work around the person's own story and strengths. Folayan uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way and what has worked before. She listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and behavior, and helps people try practical changes they can use day to day.
Her background includes support for people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with parenting stresses, caregiver strain, workplace conflict, and anger or impulsivity problems. Sessions can address ADHD-related coping, social anxiety, and issues tied to divorce or separation.
Folayan draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to structure sessions. That means she focuses on understanding each person, spotting unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns, and teaching skills to manage emotions and reactions.
She describes therapy as a step-by-step process where small changes add up. Practical tools, communication practice, and homework between sessions are common. People who want clear strategies for family tension, parenting strain, or day-to-day mood and anxiety problems may find this approach helpful.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Folayan works with Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's own perspective and strengths. This approach centers the client's experience and helps clarify goals and priorities in therapy.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is part of her toolkit for teaching emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. DBT-style strategies can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, and communication difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Folayan will discuss what feels most useful, try techniques in session, and adjust based on the client's goals and responses. She aims to find practical methods that fit the person's life and concerns.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily commitments and reducing travel time.
