About William
William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience based in Wyoming. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addiction issues, and struggles with guilt and shame. He also addresses sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes such as midlife transitions and career shifts.
William balances listening with practical coaching. He gives people time to talk through what matters while also teaching specific tools and techniques to manage feelings and behavior. He describes his work as both accepting of a person's process and focused on concrete steps for change when those are needed.
His approach draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, Cognitive Behavioral skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. He emphasizes using strengths, increasing positive emotion, and building resilience after setbacks or trauma. He may explain skills in terms of how the brain and nervous system work to make concepts easier to apply.
William encourages applying what is learned in sessions to everyday life. He expects the work done between meetings to be important for change. Sessions often include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and attention to values and meaning.
He aims to help people identify and use personal resources, improve how they relate to others, and increase capacity for handling stress. William holds LPC credentials in Oregon and Wyoming and practices from that clinical perspective.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
William often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep painful feelings going and then test small changes in daily life. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and managing shame-driven thinking.He also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas that combine change skills with mindfulness practices. DBT-informed skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and attention training, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping after trauma or during high stress.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. William works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences and adjusts techniques as those goals evolve. He emphasizes experimenting together to find what actually helps in everyday routines.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live. Licensed professionals can use those moments to support skill practice, behavioral experiments, and follow-up coaching between meetings.
