William Richert , LPC

William Richert is a licensed mental health professional who holds credentialing as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and practices with an emphasis on both acceptance and active skill-building. He is licensed to practice in multiple states and frames therapy as a collaborative process that mixes listening and validation with concrete tools for change.

He combines the practical techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy with ideas from positive psychology to help adults strengthen relationships, increase resilience after setbacks and trauma, and cultivate more positive emotions and meaning in daily life. He also draws on interpersonal neurobiology to explain stress, emotion, addiction, and relationship patterns in terms of how the brain and nervous system function, and he uses EMDR to support the processing of disturbing memories when appropriate.

Richert believes lasting growth comes from creating opportunities and building resources rather than only managing problems. Treatment often centers on identifying and using a person’s strengths, improving how they relate to others and to themselves, and translating therapeutic work into practical changes in day-to-day life. He emphasizes that what clients do between sessions is as important as the work done during meetings.

As a counselor he commits to understanding each person’s perspective, listening for the most important concerns, offering nonjudgmental acceptance, respecting individual autonomy, and collaborating on goals and timing so change proceeds at a pace that fits the client.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

William Richert integrates approaches that balance acceptance with active skill-building to support clients via online formats. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's pace and helps them clarify goals while honoring their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is practical and structured, and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - combines strategies for change from CBT with skills for acceptance and mindfulness, helping people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build coping skills when facing trauma or strong emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done together. William will work collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that fit those priorities. The selection of tools may shift over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule and maintain continuity of care. These formats let licensed professionals and therapists meet people where they are, support real-time skill practice, and adapt communication styles to fit individual circumstances.
