About William
William Rusnak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He uses practical talk and structured tools to help clients feel steadier and more able to cope. He frames counseling as a process and works alongside people to set clear goals and plans.
William draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. He also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and reactions.
Background and approach
William has six years of counseling experience and holds LPC licenses in Texas and Arkansas. Before counseling, he worked in the defense and telecommunications industries, and he has lived through long-term caregiving and bereavement. Those life experiences inform how he listens and responds to people facing similar challenges.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Expect a balance of listening, reflection, and practical strategies you can try between meetings. If requested, William can incorporate a Christian and biblical perspective into sessions.
He helps people work through relationship strains, attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. He also supports people dealing with trauma, mood disorders, narcissism-related difficulties, and social anxiety.
Approach-driven online therapy for stress and relationships
William uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior; this helps when relationship patterns cause anxiety or repeated conflict. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and actions, offering step-by-step strategies for anxiety, mood issues, and everyday stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. William will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options let people match the format to their schedule and comfort while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
