William Richert, LPC

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor who blends acceptance with practical coaching to help adults move toward greater wellbeing. He brings 15 years of experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family challenges. He balances listening and validation with clear tools and techniques - offering both space to process and actionable strategies to feel, perform, and flourish.

Richert emphasizes Dialectical Behavior Therapy and positive psychology approaches to strengthen relationships, increase resilience, and support recovery from setbacks and traumatic experiences. He helps clients access their character strengths, cultivate more positive emotion, and deepen meaning and engagement in everyday life. He also incorporates elements of Interpersonal Neurobiology to make skills for managing emotion, stress, addiction, and relationships easier to understand by connecting them to how the brain and nervous system function.

He views counseling as a partnership focused on building opportunities and resources rather than merely managing problems. In practice he may draw on DBT-informed skills, cognitive behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, and EMDR when appropriate to promote safe processing of difficult memories. He commits to understanding each person’s perspective, listening for priority concerns, accepting clients without judgment, and honoring their autonomy, pace, and timing throughout the therapeutic process.

Approaches for Online Healing and Skill Building

William Richert uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients build skills and manage distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines change-oriented techniques with skills for acceptance and mindfulness; it is useful for emotion regulation, interpersonal challenges, and coping with intense feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-observation skills that can reduce reactivity and improve stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that fit best, adjusting the plan as needs evolve so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with William includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility around work, family, and location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and practice new skills between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
