About William
William Alkhoury is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He draws on nearly a decade of experience in behavioral health to offer calm, focused support.
Clients who feel empty or stuck often come with big questions about meaning and purpose. William uses meaning-centered and existential ideas to help people notice what matters to them and to explore what gives life value. He combines those perspectives with practical tools from mindfulness and cognitive behavioral work.
Sessions focus on short-term skills and on deeper questions about how someone wants to live. Techniques may include mindful attention exercises, values clarification, and learning to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts or reactions. The work is conversational and reflective, with room for practical problem solving when needed.
William also has experience addressing issues that often come with midlife and aging, like changes in role or identity, and with concerns such as obsessive or panic symptoms, dissociation, and social anxiety. He aims to help people find steadier footing so they can make clearer choices.
To begin, he asks people to reflect on what matters to them now and what small steps might help. William brings an engaged, philosophical approach alongside concrete strategies for coping and change.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
This therapist uses Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in many sessions. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on learning simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve presence, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which is useful for coping with life transitions and a sense of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors linked to depression, panic, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach often happens together. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods match a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the mix as therapy proceeds. Many people try a blend of reflection and skills practice until they find what fits.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm specific online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows using mindfulness exercises, behavioral assignments, and values work in ways that fit everyday routines.
