Getting to know Melissa Williams

Hi there, I'm Melissa! My name is Melissa Williams-Rodgers, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in the high desert of San Bernardino County, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold an MSEd in Counseling from Mississippi College. I work with youth and adults and specialize in racial trauma, BIPOC/multicultural counseling, LGBTQIA+, women's issues, and childhood behavior issues and trauma. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use person-centered and humanistic approaches, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for youth and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, confusion, and loneliness. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is interactive, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. Insight, initiative, and independence are the three key components to identifying, executing, and reveling in meeting your goals. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.
