About William
William Kirschner is a licensed independent social worker who brings practical mental health experience to each session. He has three years as a therapist and over a decade in mental health roles before that, including case management and career counseling. He focuses on everyday problems people face and offers straightforward help.
He works with stress and anxiety and supports people struggling with addictions and anger. He also helps with career concerns and depression.
Background and approach
His approach centers on helping clients move toward a more fulfilling life rather than staying stuck where they are. William uses Acceptance and Commitment ideas to guide sessions. That means identifying values, noticing hard thoughts without getting stuck, and choosing actions that match what matters most.
Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. He aims to create a supportive, problem-solving space. William treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them build on strengths.
He encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. Outside of clinical work he draws on his background in career counseling to help with work-related stress and life direction. He pays attention to how guilt, shame, and communication habits affect daily life.
If someone wants a therapist who emphasizes action, values, and steady progress, William offers that blend.

How values-based methods work online
William uses Acceptance and Commitment ideas to guide online work. This approach helps people name what matters, notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings, and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and when someone wants clearer direction in life.He also brings practical problem-solving from his background in career counseling. That looks like breaking big problems into manageable steps, making plans for workplace stress, and trying small experiments to see what helps. These techniques fit well with video or phone sessions when a person needs focused conversation and planning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt techniques to fit their situation. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, skills practice, or career-focused problem solving.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a real-life schedule.
