About William
William Alkhoury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He brings nine years of experience in behavioral health to conversations about what feels overwhelming or empty in daily life. He uses clear, practical conversations to make sense of difficult feelings.
Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on small steps that fit into real life.
Background and approach
William draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. His background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, social anxiety, trauma, and issues that often come up in midlife. He also helps people cope with aging and geriatric issues, dissociation, isolation, and struggles with guilt or shame.
In sessions he often combines mindfulness tools with thought-focused strategies and values-based exercises. That can mean practicing grounding skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, or clarifying what someone wants more of in their life. Conversations aim to be straightforward and doable between meetings.
William describes his style as thoughtful and exploratory, bringing philosophical ideas into practical work when helpful. He works in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
William uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters most to them and take small committed actions toward those values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by shifting focus from avoiding thoughts to building a meaningful life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with practical experiments. CBT often helps with panic, obsessive thinking, social anxiety, and low mood by teaching skills to change how people respond to thoughts and situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful when strong mood swings, impulsive behaviors, or relationship difficulties get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together so treatment fits each person's needs and life. That collaborative process helps decide when to emphasize values work, skills training, or thought-focused exercises.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or working around a busy schedule. These formats aim to make therapy flexible and accessible while fitting into real life routines.
