Background and approach

He has a long history of helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and relationship concerns. He has also worked with grief and loss and has spent extra time learning about obsessive-compulsive disorder and related issues. His background includes teaching courses on substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development at the university level.

Since 2018 he has also worked in the field of probation while continuing to teach and consult. That mix of clinical and applied experience informs his practical approach to counseling. He focuses on helping people make the changes they want rather than telling them what to do.

In sessions he draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices. He also uses motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior strategies when helpful. The goal is to help people reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions, and build useful daily skills.

Bill encourages taking the first step toward support and will help clients set realistic short- and long-term goals. He welcomes people from varied backgrounds and aims to create a respectful, steady space for change.

Practical approaches for online anxiety care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calm during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works and what doesn’t.

Online sessions make starting therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is useful, phone sessions work well for people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text sessions provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
