About William
William Alkhoury is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.
He has nine years of experience in behavioral health in Arizona and frames difficult questions about meaning and purpose alongside everyday coping skills. William uses a mix of approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential ideas to match what each person needs.
Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to a person and what small changes could make life clearer. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice more flexible responses, and build simple routines that reduce anxiety and lift mood. Motivational Interviewing is used to draw out a person’s own reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to realistic goals.
William also works with concerns such as loneliness, communication problems, dissociation, guilt and shame, midlife transitions, obsessions and compulsions, panic, post-traumatic stress, and personality challenges. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s values guide the work.
People who choose him can expect a thoughtful, straightforward approach that blends philosophical questions about meaning with concrete skills for daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person's own reasons for change and to strengthen their commitment to small goals. It helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking steps forward.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce panic, manage worry, and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. William will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. The first sessions typically involve exploring priorities and testing a few techniques to see what helps.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try interventions and then practice them in everyday settings between meetings. -
