William "Bill" Blundell , LCPC

William "Bill" Blundell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has practiced in Illinois since 2010. He previously held licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) beginning in 2007. The LCPC credential indicates a state license to provide professional mental health counseling and therapy.

Alongside clinical work, he serves as an adjunct professor in Bradley Universitys counseling program, where he teaches courses on substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development. Since 2018 he has also worked in the field of probation, and he keeps his counseling skills current through teaching and consulting. These roles inform a practical, experience-based approach to helping others.

He describes himself as open minded and willing to work with people in a wide range of situations. Much of his career has focused on depression, anxiety, stress, anger management, relationship concerns, and OCD, and he has spent extra time learning about obsessive compulsive disorder. While exposure therapy is a key component of OCD treatment and can be difficult to deliver on this type of platform, he remains hopeful about supporting people experiencing OCD related issues.

Clients can expect a laid back counselor with a sense of humor who aims to meet people where they are emotionally and mentally. He emphasizes collaboration - helping clients identify and make the changes they want rather than telling them what to do. He encourages anyone taking the first step toward counseling to continue seeking support, and he aims to help clients feel heard and to work toward meaningful short and long term change.
