WHO DO I WORK WITH?

• Are you looking for a direct and goal-oriented approach to therapy that helps you feel empowered to change your negative thinking patterns?
• Do you struggle with feeling confident and connecting to your successes?
• Do you need help navigating your busy schedule each week and managing daily stress?
• Would you like more clarity and focus to start moving toward your goals?

​I can help! I enjoy working a diverse range of motivated and creative clients. Together, we can work to discover what makes you happy and what's holding you back. Taking consistent micro-steps toward positivity each week can have a big overall impact on your life.

​​I have been featured as an expert in Breathe Magazine, Bustle, UpJourney, Realtor.com, Business Insider, HelloGiggles, and other publications for my stress reduction tips, time management techniques, and positive self-talk exercises. I am a clinical therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a university professor with a background in the arts, and a published book author who specializes in psychology and wellness writing. I provide positive support, easy to use mental tools, goal setting techniques, and creative exercises to my therapy and coaching clients. Together, we will focus on your strengths and what's working for you right now, and we will move toward your goals at a pace you can set that feels sustainable to you.

​WHAT TYPES OF COACHING DO YOU OFFER?
Anxiety and Stress Reduction Coaching provides clients with exercises and tools they can use to manage their anxiety and daily stress.  You will learn how to monitor, navigate and regulate your anxiety and stress triggers, and gain tools that will increase your positive thinking.

​Project Completion Coaching is for clients working to focus their sessions on a finishing a specific goal or creative project. Are you getting stuck writing your novel? Turning in your thesis? Getting through a difficult presentation? In goal-oriented sessions, we will work together to meet your deadlines by practicing time management skills, stress reduction skills specifically related to your goal, and visualization techniques. 
​ 
Time Management & Goal Setting Coaching is for clients who are struggling with focusing on tasks, clients juggling busy schedules, or clients working from home who could benefit from better structure and scheduling. Using time blocking techniques, we look at your schedule week to week, set consistent goals, and check-in frequently to chart your progress. I also specialize in helping adults with ADHD manage their time by providing weekly accountability checkpoints for meeting their goals.

Confidence Coaching is for clients who specifically want to work on raising their self esteem and confidence through positive self-talk training. We will look at what is holding your confidence back, and set goals to work on boosting your confidence and positive self-talk using techniques from cognitive behavioral theory, narrative therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, and meditation.
​

WHAT ARE ONLINE SESSIONS?
Online coaching sessions (via video sessions or phone calls) are great options for clients who are often in different locations and need a flexible option. It frees busy clients from having to drive to a therapist's office and allows them the freedom to feel comfortable and more relaxed in a setting of their choice.

As a trained professional, I am able to pick up on vocal and visual clues to maintain a connection with my clients via telehealth.
​
​DO YOU ALSO OFFER IN-OFFICE THERAPY SESSIONS?
While I mostly provide online sessions, I do have limited clinical therapy sessions in-office available in L.A., please email me for current availability.

​​WHAT IS THE COST?
My fee is $175 per 50 minute session. To schedule a free phone consultation, please email: risawilliamstherapy@gmail.com.
