Welcome! I'm JoJo. Feeling lost in the chaos of life or dealing with the tough stuff most therapists won’t touch? You've come to the right place. Welcome! My name is JoJo, Psychotherapist & LPC in TX, GA, LA, CO, SC, ID, and MD. I specialize in complex psychological disorders, mood instability, trauma, and emotional/ behavioral dysregulation. Therapy isn’t just venting—I’m not here for small talk. I’m here to challenge, teach, and help you grow with real change. Therapy with me will never be a cliche or endless “How does that make you feel (s)?" I believe that true healing happens when we bring the mind and body into the same conversation.
Hi, My name is John’Neiska "JoJo" Williams and I am a licensed professional counselor in the states TX, GA LA, CO and I can assure you, you’ve come to the right place.
Who I Work With I work extensively with individuals with high functioning individuals with a history of borderline personality disorder (BPD), dissociation (DID), other complex or overlapping conditions with ADHD, bipolar, anxiety, and complex mood presentations. My focus is on the complicated stuff using innovative ways that traditional approaches may not fully address. I best work with high-functioning adult women who are managing careers, parenting, relationships, and responsibilities on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or stuck on the inside. that have a history of ADHD or BPD. Many of my clients struggle with emotional intensity, black-and-white thinking, or feeling pulled between extremes while trying to make sense of themselves and their experiences. That’s why I incorporate behavioral and specialized approaches, including Brainspotting, Ketamine Assisted psychotherapy, creative expressive play, and counterintuitive skills, all tailored to fit your needs. So if you’re tired of basic coping, ready to understand your patterns, and open to doing deeper, active work, this space was created for you. Let me help you find the power of the grey area.
First session
In our first session, we will start with brief introductions. I like to get your needs, wants, goals, and expectations of therapy. I also like to talk about your past experiences with therapy and what made you consider therapy as the best option for you. I like to also let clients know therapy with me, you will work collaboratively with me and remain autonomous. I will explain my theoretical approaches to therapy just to make sure you are comfortable with some of the tasks such as interventions, psychoeducation, and homework I may ask of you.
Strengths
While most people think thoughts lead to behaviors, I’ve seen how often behaviors can shape thoughts and how powerful it can be to work counterintuitively to spark change. My work uses experiential strategies to help individuals navigate complex symptoms, challenge established patterns, and develop new ways of responding to their internal experiences. I try to be competent in all areas of counseling. However, my biggest strengths and specialties include my ability to challenge and use confrontation in a positively reinforcing and therapeutic way. This creates awareness in a way that allows an individual to change emotions with their actions and not control emotions with their actions. I am not accepting teens/adolescents, high school students, or couples currently.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is a high-functioning adult who may appear to have it all together on the outside but is navigating complex emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges internally. I work particularly well with individuals with a history of borderline personality disorder (BPD), dissociation, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and overlapping mood presentations. They may struggle with emotional intensity, black-and-white thinking, impulsivity, identity disturbances, or difficulty regulating their responses despite managing everyday responsibilities. My ideal client has enough stability to actively engage in therapy and is willing to explore approaches beyond traditional talk therapy. They are curious, open to being challenged, and ready to examine their patterns through behavioral, somatic, and experiential interventions. They aren't necessarily looking for someone to tell them how to feel or think differently, but someone who can help them discover how intentional actions can create meaningful change. **They don't have to have everything figured out. They just have to be willing to explore the complicated stuff and discover the power of the grey area.**
Origin story
My inspiration came from my mother, a woman of many talents who had a passion for advocating for other mothers navigating complex challenges. She had a way of taking on situations that others considered too complicated and finding ways to help people through them. Watching her taught me not to shy away from complexity but to see the possibilities within it and finding innovative ways to address it. Growing up, she would always tell me, “You’re destined for greatness.” Those words stayed with me and eventually became the inspiration behind the name of my practice, **Destined for Greatness Counseling, LLC.** In many ways, I've carried her spirit into my work as a therapist. I don't shy away from the complicated stuff. I embrace the challenge of helping people navigate experiences that may seem overwhelming or difficult to understand. For me, being a therapist is more than a profession. It's a continuation of the advocacy, determination, and belief in people's potential that my mother instilled in me.
Ongoing work together
Our work together will be anything but traditional talk therapy. While we'll make room to process your experiences, our sessions will focus on actively exploring the connections between your thoughts, emotions, physiological responses, and behaviors. I'll challenge you, ask questions that encourage deeper awareness, and introduce behavioral, somatic, and experiential strategies tailored to your needs. Depending on your treatment goals and clinical readiness, we may incorporate Brainspotting, creative expressive interventions, counterintuitive skills, and other specialized approaches. Rather than focusing solely on changing how you think or controlling how you feel, we'll explore how intentional actions and engaging with your existing responses can create opportunities for change. Some sessions may be challenging, others creative, and some may feel completely counterintuitive. We'll continuously evaluate what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change. My goal isn't to keep you in therapy indefinitely, but to help you develop greater awareness, flexibility, and the ability to navigate complex experiences beyond our sessions. **Expect collaboration, curiosity, accountability, and a little unconventional thinking. After all, growth doesn't always happen the way we expect it to.**
Treatment methods
Gestalt
I use Gestalt in a way to help focus on a person's present life rather than delving into their past experiences. This form of therapy stresses the importance of understanding the context of a person’s life when considering the challenges they face. It also involves taking responsibility and moving forward rather than placing blame.
