About William

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, sleep problems, and life transitions. He offers a mix of listening and practical coaching so clients can talk through feelings and also learn tools to feel and perform better. He works from Wyoming and holds an LPC credential.

William balances acceptance with active skill teaching. Sessions often include practical exercises and simple techniques clients can use between meetings. He focuses on building strengths, improving relationships, and increasing resilience after setbacks.

His approach draws on therapies that teach both change and awareness. He uses cognitive and behavioral tools alongside mindfulness practices to help manage emotions and cravings. He also brings in positive psychology ideas to help people notice small gains and build on them.

William explains things in everyday terms and often describes how the brain and nervous system relate to stress and emotion. That can make skills feel easier to use in daily life and reduce overwhelm.

He encourages work outside sessions because daily actions shape progress as much as what happens in the room. Clients set goals together with him, and he adapts pacing and methods to fit each person’s needs and timing.

How his methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and decide on goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends those change strategies with mindfulness and emotion regulation skills to help manage intense reactions and recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. William works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. He will make adjustments over time and recommend practical exercises to try between sessions so progress carries into daily life.

The therapist's profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and remove travel time from the equation. Licensed professionals can guide how to use therapy time most effectively for sleep, stress, or trauma-related goals regardless of the delivery format chosen.
