About William
William Erwin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also supports people facing life changes, career struggles, insomnia, ADHD, and codependency.
He keeps sessions direct and conversational. He asks questions, listens to what matters most, and helps clients set clear goals. He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that get in the way. He also draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person’s priorities.
William uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to strengthen their motivation to change. He applies solution-focused ideas to build small, achievable steps toward daily improvements. Together these approaches are aimed at managing symptoms, improving relationships, and restoring a sense of control.
Clients can expect a respectful, interactive process where problems are named plainly and goals are set collaboratively. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on workable steps between appointments. William prioritizes clear thinking and practical skills over jargon.
He has worked with people affected by physical and emotional trauma and with those navigating separation or divorce. He also addresses challenges such as guilt, shame, anger, isolation, body image, fatherhood concerns, and midlife transitions. If someone wants to begin, there is a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In an online setting this looks like a therapist asking open questions, reflecting back what he hears, and helping the client name priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying out new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing results together to make changes that reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses reflective questions and a collaborative tone to strengthen a person’s commitment to small steps they choose. Finding the right approach is part of the work. William will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk in advance about what works for your routine and technical needs so sessions can fit into everyday life.Areas of focus
