About William
William Colwick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 25 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and low self-esteem. William aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy people and parents who need clear tools they can use right away.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety and unhelpful behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on concrete skills - breathing and grounding for panic, step-by-step plans for managing anger, and small behavior changes that reduce stress. William explains concepts in plain language and works on short, manageable goals with each person. William also supports people facing life transitions like separation or changes in caregiving roles.
He helps sort through communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation that often come with those shifts. He pays particular attention to challenges fathers and young adults raise, such as fatherhood concerns, guilt, and finding purpose. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what the client needs.
William offers different session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit varied schedules. He asks practical questions about daily life and then helps create steps that feel doable. People looking for a therapist who uses straightforward CBT tools and a calm, practical approach may find his style helpful.
He speaks English and practices in Kentucky as an LPCC.
How CBT and online sessions fit together
William primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety and stress. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, short assignments, and focused skill practice to reduce panic and social anxiety.The right approach usually becomes clear through a collaborative process. William works with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. He treats the choice of approach as a team decision rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online therapy here is offered through several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when video isn’t convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, share short updates, or do brief coaching when a full session doesn’t fit the schedule.
These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while still using CBT tools. If scheduling or travel is a barrier, the variety of online formats can help keep work on anxiety and stress consistent and practical.
