About William
William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and difficulties like sleep problems or addiction. He aims to balance listening with practical coaching so clients both feel heard and learn tools to feel better. He works from Wyoming and communicates in English.
His style mixes acceptance and action. He will listen and reflect what matters most to you, then teach skills you can use between sessions. Common tools include mindfulness practices, emotion-regulation skills, and exercises drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches. Work outside sessions is expected and encouraged to support change.
Richert draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and make small behavior changes. He also uses aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy - mindfulness and skill-building to manage emotions - and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. These methods aim to build coping skills and resilience in day-to-day life.
He also focuses on issues such as codependency, commitment problems, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife challenges. Treatment often includes identifying personal strengths, improving important relationships, and finding clearer life purpose. Sessions aim to be practical and relevant to everyday responsibilities.
William emphasizes partnership in the work. He seeks to understand each person without judgment and to follow their pace while offering structure and tools for progress.
How mindfulness and skills work in online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them; it can reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the person's goals to create a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This often means blending mindful awareness with skill practice and thought-focused work so the plan fits the individual's needs and preferences.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice techniques in real-life settings and bring everyday challenges into the session for practical problem solving.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
