I look forward to working with you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Addictions Specialist with 20 plus years of experience in providing mental health treatment.
I feel very honored for the opportunity to care for others. I understand that mental and physical health are connected and are shaped by our past. I believe that psychiatric treatment works.
I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on creating a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences. I recognize that our past experiences, relationships, identities, and environments can shape how we see ourselves and move through the world.
My therapeutic style balances warmth and support with thoughtful challenge. Rather than simply helping you manage symptoms, we will work together to understand the patterns beneath them, strengthen coping skills, and address experiences that may be keeping you from moving forward.
I integrate evidence-based and trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR, while tailoring treatment to your individual needs, goals, and readiness. You set the pace, and we work collaboratively toward meaningful and sustainable change.
Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time, returning after time away, or ready to work more deeply on longstanding concerns, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can heal, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are becoming..
I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Goldsboro
Searching for therapists in Goldsboro starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. Many people look for therapy in Goldsboro, NC for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. If you are looking for marriage counseling in Goldsboro, NC, it can also help to look for therapists who list couples work, family therapy, or relationship concerns in their profile. Review each therapist’s specialties, approach, and bio to see whether their training fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Goldsboro, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care within your schedule. You can also compare therapists by appointment availability, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Provider bios can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before booking.
Therapy in Goldsboro can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, check whether your plan is accepted, and see an estimated session cost before you book. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
