About William

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. He also supports those facing life changes, career questions, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and issues like codependency or commitment worries.

William balances listening with practical coaching. He makes space for people to talk through their feelings and also teaches tools to feel and perform better. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as ideas to build meaning and purpose.

His approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavior therapy skills, alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. That means he often helps people notice thought patterns, practice emotion-regulation skills, and build habits that support daily functioning.

William emphasizes using personal strengths and small, actionable steps. He encourages clients to try techniques between sessions and to reflect on what’s working. He also explains how stress and emotions relate to how the brain and nervous system respond, to make strategies easier to apply.

Over time, the work aims to reduce distress and increase resilience and engagement in life. William follows the client’s pace, respects autonomy, and partners with people to set reachable goals. Practical change at home and work is treated as part of the therapy process.

How William’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

William often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions with empathy and respect, focusing on the client’s experience and goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people facing strong emotions or relationship stress.

Finding the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process. William will discuss your concerns and goals, then suggest techniques that fit your preferences and day-to-day life. Together you’ll try methods and adjust based on what helps in real situations.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while using the therapeutic methods described above.
