William Keeler, LCSW

William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience. He practices in Oregon and uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes in life. Will listens first and offers clear, usable steps when those are needed.

He has a Master of Social Work from Eastern Washington University and spent years working in community mental health. That work included supporting adults, children, and teenagers, and gave him regular practice using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. He brings that background into sessions in a simple way.

Sessions focus on what a person wants to change. Will helps identify small, doable steps and ways to test what works. He uses plain language and concrete tools so people can try new approaches between visits.

People turn to him for help with relationships, parenting strains, sleep trouble, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, body image, and problems tied to family of origin. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, first responder stress, and anger or impulsivity concerns.

Outside of work he spends time with young children and enjoys reading, board games, and video games. He aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative effort toward real change.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

William commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and tracking what changes over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach he uses that focuses on values and building a life worth living even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT helps people clarify what matters and take steps toward those goals despite emotional difficulty.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. William will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and past experience to decide whether CBT, ACT, or a mix of methods makes sense. He aims to shape sessions around what a person needs and will adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while still using CBT, ACT, and mindfulness skills in everyday life.
