About William
William Alkhoury is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arizona with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also helps with worries about guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and problems with communication and meaning.
His approach blends meaning-centered and existential thinking with practical therapies. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful patterns and choose values-based steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Sessions tend to be conversational and reflective. He will talk through beliefs, behaviors, and the small choices that shape daily life. Therapy often includes simple exercises to practice between meetings, such as mindfulness or behavioral experiments drawn from ACT and CBT.
William places a strong emphasis on exploring what gives life purpose. That can mean discussing big questions about values, roles, and responsibilities. It can also mean working on concrete changes that relieve day-to-day pressure.
He brings clinical experience from behavioral health settings and a philosophical interest in meaning and human nature. People come to him when they want to understand painful feelings and figure out manageable next steps.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting flooded by them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keep someone stuck in avoidance or self‑criticism.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive self‑blame.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When feelings escalate, DBT techniques can make daily life more manageable.
Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to determine what fits best based on the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences. That might mean leaning more on values work for meaning issues or using CBT exercises for specific thoughts and behaviors.
