Willie Whited, LCSW, CSW

Willie Whited is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with over 31 years in mental health. He began his clinical career in 1980 and has worked across settings with adults, children, and adolescents. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems that come with life change.

Willie has experience supporting people with co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. That work included recognition by community organizations and participation in leadership training at Morehouse School of Medicine's Satcher Health Leadership Institute. He also has a decade of focused work with children and teens in community and facility settings.

His approach adapts to each person's needs and motivations. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mixes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered ideas as relevant. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and safer ways to handle strong emotions.

Willie often helps people confront self-defeating patterns like codependency, impulsivity, shame, or isolation. He guides conversations about relationships, parenting strain, intimacy, grief, and purpose so clients can make steady changes. The pace and techniques are shaped by what the person says they want to work on.

He uses plain language in sessions and emphasizes steady progress over time. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and sorting out life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for mood, sleeping, anxiety, and impulsive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, try approaches that match goals, and adjust methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone choose a session style that suits their energy level, like an audio-only visit when they do not want to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting to teach skills, practice new ways of relating, and track progress over time.
