William Goldberg, LPCC, LMHC

William Goldberg is a licensed therapist with more than 25 years of experience supporting people through major life transitions, persistent stress, and complex emotional challenges. He holds the LPCC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and is licensed to practice in both California and Washington. Over a quarter century in the field has given him broad experience addressing stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and PTSD, substance use and recovery, and sleep and wellness concerns.

His practice emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate approach that adapts evidence-based techniques to each person’s needs. William creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore difficult feelings, improve communication in relationships, and develop practical coping skills. He also works with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency and commitment challenges, communication problems, and the emotional impacts of divorce, separation, or domestic violence.

William frames therapy as a process of building resilience, gaining clarity, and restoring balance. Whether someone seeks help for anxiety, is coping with past trauma, or wants better sleep and overall wellbeing, he focuses on realistic goals and sustainable strategies to promote long-term growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

William Goldberg draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-focused. One approach centers on skills-based interventions that teach coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and depression - helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns and practice real-time tools for emotional regulation and problem solving. Another primary focus is trauma-informed support, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and gradual processing to help people heal from past injury and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences. These approaches are adapted to address related concerns such as sleep difficulties, substance use recovery, and relationship challenges.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. William works with each person to identify goals, assess what methods feel most comfortable, and adjust care over time so therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with William is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals without sacrificing the structure and focus of in-person care.
