About William
William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions.

That means he looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and offers skill practice for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
He also helps people notice strengths and build positive habits. Many clients find his style straightforward and goal-oriented. He emphasizes using what happens outside sessions to support progress.
Homework and real-life practice are a regular part of the work. William is licensed in Oregon and Wyoming and works with adult clients in Wyoming. He communicates in English and offers several online formats for sessions.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
William commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and results, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression. DBT combines skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, and it often includes mindfulness practice to reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work together with clients to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means adjusting techniques and pacing as needs emerge during sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and practicing skills in the moment. Phone sessions are often helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, between-session coaching, and ongoing skill prompts, which can make it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
