William Keeler, LCSW

William Keeler, LCSW, earned a Master of Social Work from Eastern Washington University and practices as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. With ten years of clinical experience, he has supported adults, adolescents, and children in community mental health settings, drawing on a range of evidence-informed tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and other life changes.

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change. His approach emphasizes listening first - creating space to understand each person’s story - and then collaborating to find practical strategies. He offers guidance when direction is helpful and encourages clients to discover their own answers along the way.

Outside of practice he is a father of young children and spends his remaining time reading, playing video games, and enjoying board games. He looks forward to meeting new clients and supporting them as they work toward their goals and navigate life’s transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

William Keeler frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with mindfulness-based techniques to support clients. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping people manage anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily life. DBT teaches practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and steadying attention, supporting stress reduction and improved coping across many concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and William works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines approaches as appropriate and adjusts strategies over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals like William to provide consistent, goal-focused work while accommodating individual routines, travel, caregiving responsibilities, and other practical constraints.
