About William
William trained at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Master of Arts in Counseling and completed additional study in addictions and trauma-related topics. He has worked in settings such as correctional facilities, homeless shelters, psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient clinics. That background informs his practical approach to problems like substance use, depression, and anxiety.
In sessions he uses Client-Centered methods, alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. That looks like listening first, then trying small, practical steps to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. He encourages people to set goals and test solutions that fit their life.
William also addresses areas such as intimacy, sexual diversity, kink and BDSM culture, codependency, and non-monogamous relationships. He helps people talk through trauma, grief, and stress related to disasters, military experiences, or discrimination. Conversations are geared to the specific concern and the person’s priorities.
Therapy with William typically moves at a steady, goal-oriented pace. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to keep progress focused and manageable. Those who want clear strategies paired with empathic listening may find this approach useful.
How William uses therapy approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people set their own goals and find solutions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then testing small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. William works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. It also makes it possible to continue work between appointments using homework, mindfulness practices, and focused behavioral experiments agreed on during sessions.
