About William
William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oregon with ten years of practice. He uses straightforward, down-to-earth care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other daily struggles. Will listens first and offers practical direction when it will help.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on small, useful changes people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to build skills that ease symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Will has background in community mental health and experience working with adults, children, and teenagers. That work included addressing parenting concerns, sleep problems, attention differences, mood disorders, and trauma and abuse.
He also helps people facing family-of-origin issues, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. People often seek him out for relationship problems, issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria or LGBT concerns, and difficulties with impulsivity, anger, or eating and body image. He also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disasters and first responder stress.
Outside of practice he spends most of his free time with his young children and enjoys reading and games. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people find workable next steps they can use right away.
How different approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often focuses on symptoms like anxious thinking or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills for people struggling with intense emotions or impulsivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to compare methods, try techniques, and adjust based on what meets the client's needs and goals. That makes it easier to settle on tools that actually fit daily life.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it simpler to fit therapy into busy days. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or texting can work for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
