About William
William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and codependency. He aims to balance listening with practical coaching so clients learn tools that work day to day. He welcomes clear goals and also makes room for honest, slow moments when people need to talk things out.
He combines acceptance with skill teaching. Sessions often include behavior-focused strategies alongside mindfulness skills for handling strong emotions. William emphasizes building strengths, increasing positive experiences, and improving how people relate to themselves and others.
William has 15 years of clinical experience and holds an LPC. He works from a stance that change happens by adding resources and opportunities, not just by managing problems. His practice puts an early focus on identifying personal strengths that can be used between sessions.
People who come to him often want help with relationships, coping with life changes, grief, anger, sleep problems, or addictive behaviors. He also works with men facing midlife concerns and people dealing with shame, guilt, or family of origin issues. Sessions aim to leave clients with simple, usable steps they can try the next day.
Outside sessions, William asks clients to practice new skills in everyday life so progress carries over. He supports a collaborative rhythm of setting goals, checking what worked, and adjusting plans as needed to fit each person's pace and priorities.
How his approaches guide online work
William often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people feel heard and respected while they set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time as goals change.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, shortening travel time, and keeping consistent check-ins when life is hectic. Online work still emphasizes practical skill practice, homework, and brief in-session coaching to apply techniques to real situations.
