More about me

Licensing: MA, LMHC Years in Practice: 12 State: Florida

Hello, my name is Teral. I am a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience helping people through some of life's most challenging moments. While I am a professional in my field, I recognize that you are the expert on you. My desire is to work with you to develop and meet your goals by first actively building the level of trust through active listening, unconditional positive regard, in a compassionate, supportive, and safe space. I am here to genuinely as well as strategically provide you with hope and way to move forward, when you may feel stuck. Especially, during those times when you are feeling loss, with no answers, or life seems more than you can handle. I am here for you. I am here to help you process feelings of anger, hurt, frustration, loneliness, insecurity, disappointment, shame or sadness. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges. I also have experience in Child Welfare working with children as well as adults with a history of physical trauma or emotional abuse (foster care, adoption). Even as an adult I have experienced personal trauma and understand that everyone responds differently and needs an individual approach to their healing journey.

My professional experience is working as a Mental Health as well as a Marriage and Family therapist. As a professional in my field I provide psychotherapy to adults, children/adolescents, couples as well as the family unit. I use evidenced based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family therapy (SFT), Family Systems Therapy (FST), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among others. I am able to use different approaches as well as combining approaches as needed to serve you as an individual. I am very open, relaxed, easy going which has served me well while working with a multitude of people from diverse backgrounds and different stages of life.

What sets me apart?

Simply because, "I love what I do!" Being a therapist is more than just a career choice for me. It is much deeper. It reflects a core part of me that enjoys getting to know people on a deeper and real level without judgment. I am ready engage and reach out to you throughout the week if needed. I can help guide you through those personal challenges, help ease emotional burdens, and empower you to achieve a healthier mindset. With this new mindset, I feel you will be able to achieve new ways to live in both your professional and personal life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

She’s a wonderful therapist that always listens and gives me advice and counsel that I never knew I needed. Her insight is helpful and she’s a very understanding person. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist.

Teral is a great therapist. She has such a such a depth of knowledge that is truly refreshing in helping to connect many different and complex elements, with also such a breadth of life experience she draws on to help make those same elements more easily understandable, digestible, and relatable. It is truly enjoyable having her as a therapist that can make complex topics simple, but also truly uses her knowledge and experience to be able to connect with her clients with where they are. Teral is such a wonderfully empathetic therapist that I've had the absolute pleasure in working through things with her, and can only say I feel very lucky in having her as my therapist.

Very experienced therapist...

I really felt the first session gave me confidence that she is great at understanding and giving feedback. This will be valuable for me in the next future sessions.

She listens and speaks deliberately . She always space in the form of silence to allow moments to respond without feeling pressured or rushed.

Teral, in a short amount of time, has helped me more than I thought possible. She has given me real-life methods and ideas to work with. She understands what I am saying from what I say and from her own similar life experiences. She is really good and I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for actionable advice and results.

Great, she is a perfect fit for me!

She’s the best therapist I’ve found. I’ve grown so much in the months that I’ve been working with Teral. Highly recommend her if she has the capacity to take new patients.

Teral is awesome. She made me feel comfortable from the moment we first spoke. I didn’t know what to expect coming in to this because this is my first time in therapy, but she was very reassuring.

Excellent listener. Compassionate and understanding.

Teral is extremely knowledgable and insightful. I’ve been so blessed to have her as my most trusted therapist for years. Always grateful to have her in my life.

I am very pleased with my sessions with Teral. She has taught me a lot of different ways to look at things and gives a lot of insight.

I'm grateful for the exceptional support provided by Teral this past year. Her empathetic approach, insightful guidance, and commitment to creating a safe space have made a profound impact on my well-being. She possesses a unique talent for unraveling complex emotions and offering practical tools for personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist, as her professionalism and dedication to her craft have been instrumental in my transformative journey.

Teral is very genuine. She uses reflective listening and gives good insight. I would recommend her for sure.

Teral is a great match for me. I truly appreciate her calm and empathetic listening style, and she never fails to offer helpful insights and suggestions for coping with the stressors in my life. Exactly why I signed up for therapy!

I’m so grateful I got the best therapist I feel like with Teral Williams. Thank you so much for everything she truly has an answer for everything and helps you down the right path to success, happiness, a better you all around.

Teral is kind, respectful, and a great listener. Her input is very insightful and helpful and her check-ins are a great way to stay on track!

I have been with Teral for almost a year now and she has transformed my life. She provides such a safe space for me and I always look forward to our sessions. She has taught me so much about life, myself, and given me tools to help with my anxiety/depression. I appreciate her so much!

Ms. Teral is a god send. I was really nervous about the whole therapy thing because I’m a very private person so opening up isn’t the easiest for me. But she’s so easy to talk to. I don’t feel judged and she helps me understand the emotions I’m dealing with. Literally after my first session with her, I felt a huge weight lifted off my chest. Words alone can’t express how grateful I am for her.

First time clicking with a therapist at the first visit. She made me feel so comfortable and able to open up fully with all emotions

Teral is my first therapist when I signed up for BetterHelp. Many people say you'll change Therapists many times before you find the perfect one. I thought I'll switch Therapists quickly, but so far, Teral has been so helpful. I appreciate her listening skills, expertise, and compassion. She has helped me understand my emotions more. She breaks things down for me & help provide explanations for my emotions. This really validates how I feel and it's always comforting chatting with her.

My anxiety and mental health have improved since attending my sessions with Dr. Williams. She listens and respects my feelings. Would recommend.

Teral is truly amazing. She addresses all of my concerns and gives me tools to use in the everyday. I’m thankful to get to speak to her every week.

Teral is extremely supportive, kind, and insightful. She has given me much to work on and think about to better my communication, relationships, and overall wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.

She’s amazing! Hands down the best therapist I have worked with.

Teral is very kind and compassionate. The first time I met with her I geninuely felt empathy from her which you don't necessarily feel from a lot of therapists. I appreciate that she is goal oriented and gave me homework to keep me on track. She has definetly met my needs as a therapist

I am very pleased that I was paired with Terel. Terel seems to fully understand my feelings and difficulties in life, and seems to relate to my stage in life, which brings me a higher level of confidence given I’ve never had therapy before this. Terel has opened my eyes and helped me understand ways to process my feelings.

Teral is the best! She's been helping me work through so many emotions the last few months. I always feel safe and understood by her. It's been so great to have her in my life!

I feel safe and seen, able to share anything and while challenges are acknowledged, we stay in the solution.

They’re very helpful and my personal growth is taking off

Teral offers professional therapy with an understanding of her clients needs. She never pushes to talk about painful experiences until the patient is ready to talk about it.

Teral was the perfect therapist for me. She made me feel comfortable with her and more importantly, I trusted her and felt safe opening up about anything. Life changing conversations that have helped me handle my daily struggles with anxiety. Thank you Teral!!

I have recently started therapy with Teral and she has helped me tremendously. I am learning to listen to myself, my needs, addressing my triggers and finding healthy ways to resolve conflict and trauma. I have began a healing journey with myself and my family with the tools and resources I have learned in my therapy sessions.

Teral has helped me so much. I'm new to therapy and found her to be helpful, insightful and warm. She listens and provides a supportive environment to explore issues. I would definitely recommend her.

Ms. Williams is a great therapist. She challenges me to think outside the box and to be patient with myself. To question myself by thinking things through before responding.

She has helped me overcome situations that seemed impossible to heal.

Teral is the best therapist I've had. She's so easy to talk and open up to. She provides great strategies to help deal with the issues at hand. She listens to what I have to say and I never feel judged in any way. She has been a huge help to me.

Therapy with Dr. Teral Williams has been much needed and greatly appreciated. She has willingly and patiently engaged in my experiences with grief and loss. We've also delved into traumatic situations that I incurred during childhood. Her foresight, wisdom, passion, and professionalism made BetterHelp the perfect choice for me. If you are looking for a therapist whose clinical experience is on point and whose love for people is evident, then I highly recommend Dr. Teral Williams to you.

I have spent a few months meeting with Teral and I cannot be explain how grateful I have been to have such a supportive and caring therapist like Teral. By far, all my therapy experiences have been significant however, my time with Teral is like no other. She has a lot of experience and I really appreciated her approach to tailor the sessions on what the client is wanting to discuss and work on. And one of my favorite parts of my time with her is the information and resources she has provided every week before each session. The bibliotherapy journal had very helpful information that allowed me to grow as a person and learn to cope with the issues I am struggling with. I came to Teral at one of the lowest times in my life and I am leaving feeling confident that I can now cope with my anxiety, trauma, and depression in a more positive and productive way than I did in the past. Thank you so much for all your support and time. You made therapy worthwhile :)

She has a very warm and strong presence which makes me hopeful that I can become a better person. I waited years to join therapy because I was scared but Teral helps make this journey worth it

I think she is great, however she is late sometimes and that does bother me. I know it's probably from other sessions but I do this before works so sometimes I just get stressed about the timing. Overall though my experience with her is really good and I respect her a lot.

The sessions I have with Teral are so incredibly helpful. I’ve always been scared of therapy but she has made this process so easy. From the first session, I immediately felt so comfortable speaking to her. She puts things into perspective for me that really helps me understand my feelings and experiences better. She’s so kind, empathetic, and attentive. I’m only 3 sessions in, but I’m so excited to continue my healing journey with her! I look forward to talking to her each week and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and a better outlook on my situation. I even take notes from our sessions because her perspective on things is just so insightful!

I am so. Lucky to have her as my therapist. Talking to her I feel heard and I feel safe. I don’t feel judged but I also feel like I can be corrected for my own good. I feel the compassion coming from her and I look forward to our sessions every time!

I love mrs.Williams. Very understanding and always checks in on me when I be needing her. She does her job and helps me get through my anger and relationship

Teral has helped me through the most tumultuous time in my life and I feel so blessed to have found her!

Love her! She actually understands and helps me.

I have been in therapy with Teral for the almost 3 months. From day 1, I felt quite comfortable with her. She provides a safe space for me to open up and be vulnerable. She is very understanding and she provides good and relevant counsel for my various situations. What I do admire about Teral is that she takes her time and tries not to rush you and she allows you to share what you want to and not push you to say what you are not ready to share. In other words, she journey's with you. She encourages me to write, something that I don't usually do a lot; but I am still a working progress.

Teral Williams is in my opion, the best possible therapist you can have. She supports you will challenging you in the process.

Teral is amazing. I’m very happy I found a therapist that I can trust.

It has only been a short while since I started with Teral and I immediately felt at ease and very comfortable the first session we had. She is very easy to talk to and I feel heard and understood.

She’s giving me a lot of hope and confidence to work through life’s challenges

Amazing therapist who is there to listen, observe, and guide you through your thoughts to find the “problem”.

Teral is compassionate and helpful. She makes sure she understands what I say and mean, and vice versa. I never feel judged, only like she genuinely wants to help. Teral also takes notes throughout our sessions and doesn’t make me repeat details every week; the flow is excellent.

Terals kindness radiates so much through the phone that you forget it's not in person therapy and she just makes you feel you comfortable about getting into uncomfortable topics.

I have been meeting with Miss Teral for 7 months now. I have seen a tremendous improvement in my mood and she is attentive to my thoughts and feelings as well as my goals. I look forward to our calls every week. I’m so happy BetterHelp connected me with her. ♥️

Thank you so much Teral for your help. I am choosing to switch off BetterHelp but my experience with you was incredible. I would recommend you to anyone. You helped me think through a lot of tough questions.

Teral is deepy insightful and also very personal. I enjoy working with her. She has a lot of experience and also incredibly relatable.

Terel is awesome iv only had a couple sessions but the advice she has given me has gone a long way. Thank you terel

Teral is SO amazing!!! She explains everything so well, and creates such a safe place for you to talk, rant or both!! I highly recommend her to everyone!!

Extremely knowledgable, open and helpful. She has helped me through very difficult situations and understands all the nuances of relationships.

Teral has given me many tools to communicate more effectively and help me with anxiety. She understands the effects of trauma and is gentle and encouraging. I’ve seen many improvements in my professional and personal life that have greatly increased my sense of well-being. I’m much happier having had Teral’s guidance.

She listens & has great feedback!

Working with with Teral over the past few months has really helped me work through things and helped me recognise and start processing my thoughts and feelings. Teral has been very supportive through a very difficult time in my life and I have found her sessions helpful in dealing with my traumas. She is warm and inviting and makes it comfortable for me to speak openly and freely without feeling judged but feeling heard and understood.

Teral provides many levels of support beyond just our video sessions. She goes above and beyond in helping me deal with my anxiety.

Teral is so easy to work with, together with her professionalism, depth of knowledge, and experience. I couldn't have wished for more!

Teral is an amazing therapist. She is extremely professional, she models setting boundaries with her clients, and yet she is very personable and easy to talk to.

Teral Williams is a compassionate yet truth speaking therapist. I appreciate her insight and practical ideas. My eyes have been opened to many things that I never understood through her guidance. Thank-you!

Teral is by far the best counsellor I have had in years and especially with BetterHelp.

Teral is an active listener and promotes techniques that are realistic and action items to work on that can be attained. I feel grateful that I was matched with her.

Teral is very insightful. She is supportive yet challenges my thinking in helpful ways.

Teral is supportive, kind, and thoughtful. She is so inviting and easy to talk to. She offers a variety of calming techniques and useful psychological/behavioral info that helps me not only make sense of my thoughts, but encourages self-confidence, self- trust. 30 minutes isn’t enough with her, haha! It’s been wonderful. I’m thankful to have her as a therapist.

It’s early in our conversations but happy with the progression so far

Teral is an active listener. She is able to assess your situation with great insight and give practical , sound advice that you can follow up on. It has been great having a neutral person steer me in the right direction.

Teral is a great counselor! Very thorough and friendly over the phone. She always had great suggestions. Thanks again!

I have only had a few sessions with Teral but I find her to be empathetic and structured in trying to get to a solution. She makes it easy to speak to her

I have had two live sessions with Mrs. Williams and so far they have been very beneficial. I truly appreciate her supportive nature. Not only is she understanding, but she offers useful/positive tools to help me deal with any stress or anxiety. I also enjoy the way she provides helpful analogies to help me understand what she is talking about.
