Robert Williams Jr

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth therapy to adults and couples in South Carolina and Florida. I work with individuals and couples who feel emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—often related to relationship stress, anxiety, life transitions, or faith-related concerns.

My professional background is rooted in relational and systems-based therapy, with focused experience in working with couples, marital conflict, communication breakdowns, emotional regulation, and identity or self-worth concerns. I frequently support clients navigating separation decisions, trust issues, chronic stress, and relational uncertainty.

For clients who desire it, I also offer a biblically based, psychologically and therapeutically validated approach, thoughtfully integrating faith with evidence-based clinical care.

Madeline Robertson

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.

I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.

When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Florence

Searching for therapists in Florence starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare options, look for a Florence therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or relationship counseling.

In a smaller city like Florence, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across South Carolina while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides the session format you prefer. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Florence can be a significant investment 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 search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
