Dr. Arkaya "Kady" Williams-Abbott

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi!
Do you struggle with relationships?
Do you want your marriage to be better?
Do you struggle with depression or anxiety and just want to be happy?
Are you having trouble adjusting to a new situation? A move to new area, a new job, recently single or divorced?
If you work with me, I can help you with the issues mentioned above.

My name is Arkaya Williams-Abbott and I go by “Kady.” I am a licensed therapist in the state of Alabama. In addition to the issues I mentioned above, I have over 29 years of experience working with adult men and women who struggle with substance use disorders (alcoholism and drug addictions) and serious mental illnesses.

My counseling approach is client centered and I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change as therapeutic interventions that will help you with the issues you struggle with. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Auburn University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

There is no doubt that asking for help is hard, however, I think counseling is one of the best gifts one can give to themselves!

Together, let’s bring clarity to the issues clouding your life.
I am an ally.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. This makes virtual counseling a viable option for addressing everyday mental health needs.

One major benefit is convenience and flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether through video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular care.

Therapists available for online work are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many, online therapy provides an accessible way to receive consistent support while balancing life’s other responsibilities.
