About Willie
Willie Whited is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia with more than 31 years in mental health care. He holds a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling and has spent decades helping people navigate difficult life moments. His work has included recognition for efforts with co-occurring disorders and community leadership training at Morehouse School of Medicine.
He has long experience with serious mental illnesses and personality disorders, and with people facing both mental health and substance use challenges at the same time.
Background and approach
He also spent about ten years working with children and adolescents in community and facility settings. Willie adapts his work to each person rather than following a rigid script. In sessions he uses practical, person-centered methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and existential thinking inform his work. The goal is to help people notice what’s getting in the way and find steps that make life feel more manageable. Willie pays attention to motivations and values when setting goals.
He talks about change as a process that can be uncomfortable but also full of opportunity. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and related challenges. He describes therapy as a collaborative journey toward more meaningful choices and clearer purpose.
To get started clients follow a brief matching process and schedule sessions that fit their timing.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Willie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to clarify values that guide workable actions. ACT can be a help when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or life transitions.He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. This can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, jealousy, or codependency. Client-Centered methods shape a supportive, respectful space where the person's goals guide each session.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust as progress unfolds. Expect a conversation about what is most helpful rather than a fixed plan from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
