About Willie
Willie Whited is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with more than 31 years of experience. He began working in mental health in 1980 and has supported people facing long-term mental illness, substance use concerns, and complex co-occurring conditions. He works in plain language and focuses on each person's specific needs and motivations.
Willie draws on a range of approaches to meet what people bring to sessions.
Background and approach
He often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that get in the way. He also uses acceptance and commitment concepts to help people commit to values and small, steady actions. His background includes work with adults and a decade of experience with children and adolescents in community and facility settings.
He has been recognized for work with co-occurring disorders and completed leadership coursework with the Morehouse School of Medicine Satcher Health Leadership Institute. In session he emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation. He helps people name distractions, test small changes, and build routines that support coping with stress, sleep trouble, mood shifts, and ADHD-related challenges.
Willie offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Willie commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can help with motivation, avoidance, and managing difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep or impulsivity patterns.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. He works together with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few weeks, then adding ACT strategies or other techniques based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or skills practice into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family demands.
