About Sebastion
Sebastion Williams is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience working in clinical and community settings. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem and related life challenges. He also lists support around family concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes and coaching-type work.
He prefers practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods. In session he focuses on what a person is trying to change and on moment-to-moment choices. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors and small experiments a person can try between meetings.
Sebastion draws on long experience as a frontline clinician and crisis supervisor. He has also worked leading teams of care managers in government programs and in private practice. That background informs how he balances urgent concerns with longer-term goals.
He identifies as a neurodiverse mental health professional and notices the effort people often make to appear "okay." He aims to help clients find areas of control and influence where they can feel more purposeful and less overwhelmed.
He is interested in connections between expressive activity and wellbeing, including performance arts and gaming. When people bring interests like these, he looks for ways to fold them into problem-solving and coping strategies.
Sebastion practices in Illinois and works in English. People who carry guilt and shame are listed among his focus areas, and he attends to those feelings alongside other concerns like abandonment, forgiveness and isolation.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what a person values and wants to change, then letting that guide the work. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings like guilt and shame and decide what matters most to act on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In plain terms, it helps a person test unhelpful thoughts about themselves and try small behavior changes to see if things shift.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, ambivalence, and when someone feels stuck between choices.
Picking the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress and challenges emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins that match work or family schedules. They also let people try different meeting lengths or quieter setups depending on bandwidth and daily demands.
