About William

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Wyoming. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, struggling relationships, addictions, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career or purpose concerns. He also lists codependency, commitment issues, family of origin concerns, and men's issues among his focus areas.

He combines talking and active coaching. He listens and allows people to tell their story. He also teaches skills and specific techniques aimed at feeling and performing better. Sessions mix emotional support with practical tools to handle difficult moments.

William draws on dialectical methods alongside cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness. That means attention to both acceptance and change - noticing what’s happening now and practicing concrete skills to respond differently. He also uses motivational interviewing to help with change and decision-making.

He often frames skills and emotion work around how the brain and nervous system operate, which some people find clarifying. He also incorporates ideas from positive psychology to help people identify strengths, increase positive emotions, and build resilience after setbacks.

William emphasizes that change happens in daily life as well as in sessions. He encourages applying new skills between meetings and tracking what helps. He asks clients to set goals and pace the work in ways that respect their timing and autonomy.

How sessions work

How his approaches are used in online work

William often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. DBT-informed work blends skills for noticing and accepting emotions with concrete strategies to change unhelpful behaviors, which can help with overwhelming emotions, impulse problems, and relationship reactions. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

He also draws on mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are short practices that can be practiced between sessions and used during stressful moments to ground attention and calm the nervous system.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That makes it easier to try skills, review how they’re going, and adjust the plan over time.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into weekly life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For many people, being able to practice techniques in everyday settings helps transfer skills from sessions into daily routines.
