William Richert, LPC

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and issues like jealousy and codependency. He aims to listen first and offer practical tools that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

He balances open listening with actionable coaching. Sessions often mix talking through what’s happening with learning concrete skills to regulate emotions and change unhelpful patterns. He emphasizes building strengths and increasing resilience rather than only managing symptoms.

William draws on approaches such as dialectical behavior skills, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor work to each person. He also uses positive psychology ideas to help people notice strengths, grow meaning, and increase positive emotion. He sometimes explains things in terms of how the brain and nervous system respond to stress and relationships.

His focus includes coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. He works with issues tied to family of origin, commitment, guilt and shame, isolation, and men’s midlife struggles. He invites practical steps clients can try between sessions to move forward.

Based in Wyoming, he aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space that honors each person’s pace. He says change happens through repeated efforts both inside and outside sessions, and he will collaborate on goals and strategies that fit the client’s life.

How his approaches fit into online work

William often uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and following the person's goals. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the stage for practical skill building tailored to their life. It is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and issues tied to self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines change-focused techniques with skills for awareness and emotional regulation. DBT-style skills are useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and increasing resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist can adjust tools over time to see what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist emphasizes fitting therapy into everyday life, such as arranging meetings around work, using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choosing approaches that let people practice skills between sessions. These practical benefits make it easier to keep therapy consistent and connected to daily challenges.
