About Sebastion
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (IL LCPC) with 25 years of experience. Sebastion Williams focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, trauma and grief, and related life challenges. He uses client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused approaches.
Sebastion frames therapy as practical conversation. He asks what is most pressing. Sessions look at patterns, choices, and small changes that can reduce distress. He draws on client-centered questions to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen commitment when change feels difficult. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and build on existing strengths.
His background includes many years as a frontline clinician and crisis supervisor, plus leadership of care management teams in government programs. That work shaped his focus on clear problem solving and practical supports. He also has experience as a Certified Case Manager and has trained in telemental health practices.
Sebastion describes himself as neurodiverse and notes how that perspective informs his work. He pays attention to how people adapt roles and expectations, and he helps them find areas of control and meaning. He also brings an interest in performance arts and gaming as useful ways to explore identity and skills.
People who come to him can expect straightforward discussion, short-term skill building, and collaborative planning. To begin, clients provide information about goals and current concerns so sessions can focus on what matters most.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions begin with the client’s concerns and move at their pace, which can help with issues like self-esteem, isolation, and relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions commonly include simple exercises, goal setting, and homework to test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related patterns.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It is helpful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about addressing addictions, career shifts, or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes what is emphasized in each session and how progress is measured.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Ask about whatever session length or rhythm fits your schedule when you arrange the first appointment.
