About William
William Erwin is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. He helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those coping with parenting strain, career stress, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and issues tied to sexuality and LGBT identity.
His approach is warm and interactive. He listens first, then helps set clear, practical goals together. Sessions typically focus on real-life steps that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning rather than long lectures about theory.
William uses techniques from client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape conversation and actions. He also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people find motivation and concrete solutions. These methods are chosen to match each person’s goals and situation.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. William aims to make the work understandable and useful, with straightforward tools people can use between meetings. He frames progress as small, steady changes rather than immediate fixes.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability. The process is collaborative: goals and the plan are revisited as needs change and new challenges arise.

William collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan over time based on what is helping most. The work is a team effort with practical steps and regular check-ins.
