About William

William Richert, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and life changes such as a midlife crisis. He balances listening with practical coaching, offering tools to manage emotions, improve relationships, and increase day-to-day functioning. His approach aims to help people feel better and perform better in work and life.

He uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas alongside positive psychology to teach skills and build strengths. Sessions often combine learning concrete techniques with talking through what’s happening now. William emphasizes practical steps that can be used between meetings to extend progress into daily routines.

His background includes 15 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and Wyoming. He explains how stress, emotions, and relationships connect to the brain to make skills easier to understand and apply. That explanation can make therapy feel more concrete for people struggling with panic, trauma, or mood problems.

William works to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where people set their own goals and pace. He focuses on helping clients access strengths, increase positive emotions, and find more meaning and engagement in life. Progress is framed around building resources, not only managing problems.

In sessions, he may introduce mindfulness skills, coaching exercises, and behavioral techniques tailored to each person’s needs. He stresses that what clients do between sessions matters as much as time spent in the room. This practical orientation is intended to support ongoing change.

How his approaches guide online work

William often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the client sets goals and pace. This approach helps when people need acceptance and a steady place to talk through difficult emotions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and problems like sleep or anger because it offers concrete steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is usually a team effort. He will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as different skills prove useful.

The practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online therapy can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins possible when needed, which can help maintain momentum between meetings. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to be sure they fit your routine and goals.
