Background and approach

Many people come for help after upsetting events, or when worry and low mood start getting in the way. William works on symptoms of post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and workplace stress. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, attachment questions, and struggles around life purpose.

He has eight years of clinical experience and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. English-language sessions are provided in Utah. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a therapist and schedule sessions.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

William commonly relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. These methods use clear, practical exercises such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

He also draws on acceptance-oriented work that teaches skills for tolerating difficult feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals. This approach helps people cope with lingering stress and trauma without getting stuck in avoidance. Additionally, he incorporates existential conversations about values and life purpose to help people make clearer choices and build a sense of direction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. William works together with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief support, homework check-ins, or when writing helps someone think things through. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work days, caregiving schedules, or busy lives.
