Individual therapy
One-to-one work focused on patterns, coping, goals, and meaningful change.
Online therapy across California
Focused care, wherever you are in California.
Michael Williams, LMFT provides online individual therapy and couples therapy to eligible clients who are physically located in California at the time of service.
Statewide access
California is the service area. Online is the format.
You do not need to live near a particular office. Sessions are conducted online, and clients may be located in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Sacramento, San Diego, the Central Valley, or another California community.
The legal and clinical boundary is straightforward: each client must be physically located in California when the session occurs. This website does not claim physical offices throughout the state.
