    About William

    William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles. He also works with concerns like burnout and compassion fatigue, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose. William combines listening with practical coaching to help people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

    He spends time hearing what matters most to each client and then offers specific tools and techniques. Sessions may include strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills drawn from dialectical behavior ideas. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

    William describes his style as both accepting and active. He balances patience and support with concrete steps clients can try between sessions. He encourages using strengths and small experiments in daily life to build confidence and resilience.

    Over 15 years he has focused on improving relationships, coping after setbacks, and helping people reconnect with meaning and engagement. He explains emotional and stress responses in straightforward terms, sometimes referencing how the brain and nervous system affect feelings and behavior. He sees progress as a mix of in-session work and what people do outside appointments.

    William holds licensure as an LPC and practices in Wyoming. He works in English and asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

  2. How therapy approaches translate to online work

    William uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and to build motivation in small, practical steps. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting to support commitment to new behaviors.

    He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's perspective and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools for managing mood and anxiety. These methods can help with stress, panic, mood disorders, addiction challenges, and relationship patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. William collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will adjust techniques as progress is made and as needs change.

    If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively at a distance when sessions are scheduled to match the client's routine.
