Brian Williams, LCSW

Brian Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on couples and family therapy, helping partners navigate conflict, disconnection, and major relationship transitions. He blends formal training with decades of personal experience - about half of his insight comes from professional education and the other half from being married for over 30 years and working closely with couples facing similar struggles.

He specializes in work with married, engaged, separated, and cohabiting partners who are fighting, not talking, feeling unhappy, or experiencing hopelessness about their relationship. He brings tested methods and a sense of humor to sessions, using structured approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy to address attachment and commitment issues, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, and challenges around divorce and separation.

Brian studied with John Gottman and draws on that training alongside other evidence-informed practices to create practical, skill-based interventions. He emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance - he does not criticize, take sides, or assign blame - and he works to make the difficult work of relationship repair feel manageable and, when possible, even engaging.

He understands that calling a couples counselor can feel daunting and that one partner may be reluctant to participate. Brian offers guidance for partners who feel stuck or who have tried other options without success, and he highlights ways relationships can improve with focused effort.
